Ok i know its just like the microfly/qpack so i was wondering if any one knew of possibly getting a nice 120 mm for the back that is more quiet and maybe if there was a way to install a intake fan for the front? possibly a quiet 80 or 92 something a long those lines

That JPAC case has a 80mm fan intake in the front, even though it doesn't say so on newegg. The rear has a 120mm exhaust. You can swap out fans for whatever you wanted. It only comes with a 120mm fan I believe. I've used the coolermaster led fans, and they've always been quiet and dependable for me. They're also really easy to hook up to a fan controller because they have the 3-pin design, and also come with the 4pin molex adapter.

Alright..
(1) 80mm fan will mount on the inside of the front.
Video Card:
well, this guy is putting a 7900gt in his.. so I'm sure the ati 850xt will fit.

Thanks for the pics i cant believe i didtn even see the fan spot in the front lol and i forgot to look last night, i didnt think i was gonna have an issue with the video card, it is dual slot but not htat long. Do you recommend a power supply for the jpac? im just using the 550watt that it came with for the short run, as i heard with the x850xt it will only be using 300 watts, i know the amps suck.

The power supply that comes with that is 550w.. but only 20a on the 12v, which from what
other people say that have this case, it doesn't power anything, or they would never use it.
I think it does support a regular ATX power supply, so I'd look into getting something good
and modular. You don't want tons of cables in your way. For 99 bux, I'd get the Hiper 580w.
My brother has it powering his AM2 rig, and its powerful with really nice modular cables
and an awesome looking mirror finish on it. Various overclocker's websites have reviewed
it and stress tested, and they rate it really high for stable/reliable power. The modular design
for the cables is probably the best design I've seen on a psu. All the periphial cables are
removable and not super long to make a mess inside the little JPAC case.

Its available in three colors. silver/red, black/black, blue/blue. (psu-color/cable-color)

You could pick up a Fortron (FSP) 400w sleeved PSU for around $57 after rebate from
newegg.. They are a really good power supply at a good price. People here on [H] like
them quite a bit. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104935

Also using the stock psu, i found my voltages on my mobo fluctuate a lot which is prob expected with a cheap psu,
my 12v line is around 12.6v
my 3.3 is around 3.4v
my 5v is around 5.4
at least on my desktop the voltages are right on, 3.3, 5, and 11.95 or so

Dual rails splits the load up between your components. Its like instead of lifting 50lb withluke51087 said:
one arm, you lift 50lb with both arms, hence only using 25lb per arm to make the job much
easier. Essentially, you add up the amps on the 12v rail for the total amps.. so that would
be 29a on the 12v. That should be within spec to power what you need in a semi-sff case.
For PSU's, your voltages should remain fairly stable with no fluctuation. You don't want
your numbers straying to far from what they should be. (3.3, 5, 12) If you get too large of
fluctuations, it could damage your equipment or cause random shutdowns.
Well i guess the next thing to do will be to get a new psu, maybe just get one for my desktop and throw my desktop one into this case. Right after i RMA this lame WD hard drive back to them. The drive never even spun up so much for their customer loyalty program
