Alright so next to my external hookups off the mobo in the back there is a thin plate the same depth and length and width. now its about 65mm wide and i can put 2 on it. And im going to drill the holes and put a 60-80mm adapter on the inside. Im going to have them blowing air in since i have a top fan pulling the air out and the PSU pulling it out. Think its a good idea? BTW i cant put the adapter on the out side because there is a wall and it would hit it when tapering out.
 
got any opions? sound like a good idea. right now my fan setup is one top fan blowing air out and my PSU has a 120 sucking it in and 80 outside blowing out air that the 120 sucked in. so i need some sort of "flow" so im putting these putting air in.
 
My preference, as few fans as possible... use only 120mm fans. :) Quiet and still get good airflow. More fans, smaller ones to be exact, too noisy for me.

Do you need it or want to because it's fun to mod something? There is a difference between needs and wants.

If you already have a blow hole, you don't need those 2 extra fan holes... just added noise IMHO.
 
i got a 3,500 RPM 80mm on top sucking air out and i got on the PSU a 120 and 80 sucking the air out of the case. so i mean. u somewat want fresh air to come in. and it will help the fans out more and better airflow.
 
It'd be better to put a 120 in the side panel, IMO
What about front intake?

Well placing those fans there for intake will just blow in and blow right out the top. You want to have air come in the front then work its way through and out the back or top. put a fan in your side panel like suggested by the guy above.
