Default Case Fans
Hi, I have built a new Desktop. It includes:

Asus S775 Mobo
Intel 630 3.0ghz cpu
cosiar 1gb ddr2 pc-4200 533mhz ram
Asus x700 Pro 256mb Gfx
Westurn digital 80Gb SATA Hd
LG DVD/RW
1.44Mb Floppy.

My question is, I dont want to use thermal cooling, To expensive, so my alternative is case fans. How many do u think i will need to satisfy the heat from this system and where abouts should you place them in the case

The case has a power supply of 350 Watts. Thanks, Granto2000

Absolutely! It's always good to have at least 1 "in" and 1 "out" fan. Exhaust fans are always under-estimated but they are really important as they remove most of the hot air from inside the case that will raise the temps on all of your internal components.

When you say 1 in and 1 out, how do you mean. Is the psu fan the out fan?

Well, the PSU usually does have an extract fan but no, I am saying that you can always do with another exhaust fan in addition.
