The Tower of Rage has quite a few in it. I'm sure there are those with more, but it has alot and was one of the first to get so extreme.

That tower of rage wouldnt be too extreme once i start on my tower torado project in a couple of months...........we'll see.........

Wow I've never seen so many fans in one case I bet that thing is super loud.

There comes a point where all you are doing is adding more turbulence and actually hurting cooling.

Here's a LianLi a guy I know put together. It's pretty damn absurd.

There are 12 fans visible, plus the normal exhaust and intake. Not sure what size they all are, look like 92mm.

I don't see how turbulence would hurt cooling. If anything, turbulence would help dislodge heat pockets around densely packed heatsink fin arrays.

with that many fans it looks stupid. theres to many. besides you dont need that much cooling.
thats just my opinion

 

[andypnb]

there was a server at some point in time with fans all the way across front and back.

maybe 12 on front and 10 on back.

no cd drives, nothing but 7-10 harddrives and mobo with stuff.

like this:
___
|XX|
|XX|
|XX|
|XX|
|XX|
|XX|
on front and
___
|X |
|XX|
|XX|
|XX|
|XX|
|XX|

on back, where every X is a fan.

I do remember a case with a wall of fans overkill

 

[Xenarchy]

Someone should buy a crap load of fans and make an entire case out of them =P

With those many fans it should hover.

Roughly room temp?

Turbulence HURTS airflow. Quite contrary to your thinking, turbulence would create "heat pockets." Ever seen a video of somebody white-water rafting getting stuck inside a particularly turbulent bit of water? Same idea.
