Just a simple poll for fun to see who is the most [H] w/ fans. If you have 11 or more, post how many. Post your fan configuration if you feel like it.

-Three Silverstone FN-181 180mm fans for intake
-Two San Ace H1011 120mm fans on the Cogage Arrow
-One Panaflo L1A 120mm fan for exhaust

I used to have a Scythe GT 1450rpm in a Scythe Kama Bay for an additional intake, but it really wasnt necessary.
 
my main rig has 10, the Delta 120 is a PWN 4 pin, the rest are set @ 5v

my HTPC has 7 set @ 5v (the CPU fan is set @ 30% at idle and will hit as high as 75%, it is a 120mm skinny Yate Loon)

the big rig was nuts, I miss it, 7 kaze ultra 120s, and 3 80s... all at full speed... they kept the water cool... :D
 
My SG03 has two 120mm intake fans and the PSU has a 120mm fan
Since I use fanless CPU and GPU coolers, the total for me is three.
 
VSK2000 with
two 120mm intake fans
one 120mm exhaust
one 120mm CPU fan
one 120mm PSU fan
two 80mm GPU fans

total of seven even though I voted six. forgot about the PSU. all case fans are undervolted and one of the intake fans only get turned on for gaming.
 
Not sure if people are counting PSU, as I don't think there's many people here that wouldn't have that one, but the rest of mine:

2 X 120 intake (Stock CM's that came in the cm690 case)
1 X 120 exhaust (Scythe 1600 rpm)
2 X 140 exhaust (top of case) (aerocool something or others)
1 X 120 CPU (Tuniq Tower stock fan)
1 X Corsair Dominator ram cooler (Guess I could say 3 X 40mm'ish?)
1 X 120 that moves around the case depending on my mood. :D

all but the bottom one intake fan use uGuru to spin between 6.0V - 11.0V depending on temps, though they rarely get above 7.0V with my settings. Also want to get one of the Scythe 140mm fans to go on my side panel to see if I can move some more air over my vid card, as I don't like the temps when gaming, but don't want to crank the vid card fan too much. I have to admit, though, sometimes I wonder what a silent pc would be like again...
 
5 X coolermster blue led 120mm
3 on side of stacker 830 going in
1 in front over drives
1 on top going out

2X 120mm antec tri cool high push pull corsair h50

2x generic 3 color led 80mm
1 ziptied to the cpu 8pin wire to blown on vrm cooling on my board
1 sitting on bottom of case to pull cool air in for my 4870
 
16 fans, all 120mm, lowish speed gentletyphoons, covering 2 x 360 and 1 x 240 radiators, all in push/pull
 
7 total

3 120mm case fans
1 200mm case fan
1 psu fan
1 120mm cpu fan
1 GPU fan
 
One Silverstone FN181 180mm & Two Silverstone FN181-BL 180mm for intake
Two GELID FN-FW12BPL-18 for H50/exhaust
 
In my setup i have

-4 intake fan
-2 exhaust fan
-2 cpu fan
-2 gpu fan (1 per gpu)
-2 ram fan
-1 fan directly blowing air into the gpu
 
5 scythe gts, 1 stock fan in tuniq tower 120 = 6 fans

not counting psu fan.
 
Whoops, put 5, but forgot about GPU and PSU fans. I read this question as "case fans" at first, so, 7. My bad.
 
Was just the PSU but after finally settling on a case and swapping graphic card(s):

3 stock 800D case fans
3 GTs up top for positive case pressure
2 VGA to cool the VRMs & memory heatsink
1 PSU - noisiest under 60% or greater loads
 
Double Wide server case.
5 x 120mm intake
3 x 120mm exhaust
Power supply fan
2 x 80mm fans 1 blowing over NB and 1 blowing over my RAID card
1 noisey Asus fan on the mosfet cooler as I Water Cool.
Go figure.

1x 92mm (HSF)
3x 120mm (2 case, 1 PSU)
1x 140mm (case, top)
1x squirrel cage (GTX 260)

So, six in all and it's still relatively quiet.
 
Six fans. Seven if I put one on the Xigmatek.

-120mm intake
-120mm GPU fan
-140mm top exhaust
-80mm HDD fan
-120mm exhaust
-80mm PSU fan

Optional 120mm CPU fan
 
hmph Only 6 for me. ever since I got my storm sniper I just havent needed them.
 
!0 fans in total.

2x 140mm lian-li case fans.
1x 120mm lian-li case fan.
4x 120mm yate loon internal fans.
2x 120mm yate loon CPU fans
1x GPU fan.
 
10 fans right now:
3 230mm Coolermaster fans; one front intake and two top exhausts.
3 120mm Coolermaster R4 fans; two behind the HD bays and one rear exhaust.
1 120mm Xigmatek fan mounted on my CPU heatsink.
1 fan in my 5870's heatsink.
1 fan in my 9600GSO's heatsink.
1 140mm fan in my PSU.
 
Mine should be 9 and not 7; forgot my GPU and PSU. 5 Scythe S-flex E's, 1 CM LED fan on the front, GPU, PSU and one Corsair PWM fan that came with my H50. Bottom, side panel, front and Rear fans are all intake, top 2 are exhaust. (Rear used to be exhaust but once I put the H50 in I made it intake for a push/pull across the radiator.
 
3x 200mm - front intake, side panel intake and top exhaust

3x 140mm - 1 back exhaust (fits 120mm mounting), 1 on floor of case intake, 1 inside psu intake.

1x 120mm on true, 1x 40mm on chipset

2x 92mm (80mm?) 1 on each video card.
 
6x 120mm Scythe Slipstreams (case)
2x 120mm Scythe GentleTyphoons (CPU)
1x 200mm Antec BigBoy (case)
1x 120mm Silverstone Strider (Power Supply)
1x 80mm Radeon 5870 (GPU)


Good thing I have a nice controller or this rig would be noisy.
 
3x200mm (2 intake 1 exhaust)
2x140mm (PSU, bottom intake)
4x120mm (2xHSF, 1 intake, 1 exhaust)
GPU Fan

Guess that's 10. I keep em turned down pretty low most of the time, but even when I turn things up, it's not as bad as some of my old rigs with all 80mm case fans and 60mm HSF's. I remember the days turning my rig on sounded like a F-14 spooling up.
 
2x 120mm Lian Li stock (will be replaced soon) intake and exhaust
2x 120x38mm Panaflo midspeeds (push/pull on the Megahalems)
1x 80mm Antec stock in the True Power Quattro 1kw
1x 80mm Cooler Master strapped to the stock heatsink on the P5Q Deluxe
2x 90/92mm squirrel cage fans on the 4890s (stock HSF)

I wasn't thinking about the GPUs and forgot about the one I strapped to the motherboard, so I put 6 rather than 9 above. Everything but the GPUs was on a fan controller (and there were more) in my last build in the ATCS 840, but I got lazy when everything moved to the A05B.

Seven fans in use. 9, installed.

3 intakes
1 cpu
1 gpu
1 PSU
1 exhaust

I have two more installed on the side panel however they are not currently powered up. I have the capacity for four more fans installed up along side the 5.25 bays as well as one more fan that sorta floats in the middle of the case which isn't installed.

I could also install multiple blow hole fans if I were so inclined. Supermicro SC 750. It's old, gotten yellow and ugly over the years but man it's just such a damn good case.
 
I had 11 up until a couple of days ago.

5 intake 120mm (3 on side panel, 2 on front)
1 exhaust 120mm
1 exhaust 170mm
1 CPU 120mm
2 GPU
1 PSU

However I yanked off the 2 front ones as I want to replace them with something quieter. So I'm down to 9 until my 2 new fans get here.
