Hi all, I'm literally putting together my 2nd build after 6 years, using the following components:

Case - Antec SOLO (has one 120mm fan in the rear, can accommodate 2 92mm fans in the front)
PSU - Antec True Power Trio 650W (has a 120mm fan)
CPU - Q9550
HSF - Xigmatek HDT-S1283
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
RAM - G.Skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1000
Video - Gigabyte Radeon HD 4350
HD - 2 WD WD6400AAKS for Intel Matrix RAID configuration
DVDRW - Samsung SH-S223Q

Keep in mind that I'm not a gamer, and will be using this machine for primarily for video processing/encoding.

I am planning to OC the CPU a little; I'm thinking I could easily and safely increase it to 3.0 or 3.2GHz.

My question is: should I add one or two 92mm case fans? If so, any recommendations for something that will fit the SOLO case without requiring mods? Preferably something I could pick up from Fry's tonight? :D

Thanks in advance for your advice.
