Hey guys,

I just got my Stacker 830 in and I'm wondering which way to put the fans.

I purchased 5 additional fans for it to go along with the one in the back and the one on the drive cage.

All of them are 120mm Cooler Master units. They operate at 720 RPM's and move 11.27 CFM.

I'll have the back and top fans blowing out. What should I do with the four on the side? Have them all blow out? Just use two, or one, or whatever? Leave them out entirely?

I dont care about not using all the fans I bought, they'll find homes elsewhere for sure.

The system going in this is an X2 3800+ with an EVGA 7800 GT. The PSU is an Antec Smpartpower II 500 Watt.

Thanks.
 
Use the fans on the side to bring cool air in.

What CPU cooler are you using?
 
A Zalman 7000Cu at the moment. But with the new case I may move up to a 7700Cu that I have since there's room.
