Found a interesting article over at Short Media. About the amount of fans and positions and the different cooling potential where each fan is placed.

Great article, couldn't have come at a better time for me. Just building a new system - P4 2.6c, 1GB of DDR 400, 60GB 7200rpm hard, Audigy 2, Radeon 9600xt with 400W psu. Now i'm starting to think 1 or 2 rear exhaust fans will be enough. I don't have air conditioning and i won't be overclocking for a while.
Normally i wouldn't let 1 article influence me so much but that was pretty convincing.Sandy Bridge Pentium G840
Asus socket 1155
Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR31866
PNY geforce 9600gt PCI-E 512Mb
HP w1907 widescreen LCD
Creative sound blaster X-Fi Titanium
Corsair Performance Pro 256GB SSD
1TB Hitachi Deskstar HDD

It really does, I tired it on my case and am pleased with the results. I know this is a cooling thread, but I must point this out: Arjun, if you're planning on overclocking at all, do not get DDR400, get DDR466 at the least, DDR500 would be your best bet. Sry for topic changing :p , : peace2: Mista K6
