I have 4 case fans (all that i can put in) im my Thermaltake Xaser 3 Lanfire.
I have put 2 blue led fans in (swapped both the 80mm) so i have 2 fans laying around..... Can any of you guys suggest anywhere to put these fans?
Thx dene

Make sure that you have fans going in and out. You got to get rid of that hot air after it cools your stuff. I would sushigest fans going in towards the bottom of the case, 1 under you PS blowing out, the other if possible, right at the top of you case going out also.

My box has 4 fans blowing in at the front over my 2 HDs, 1 on the side blowing in, and 2 + the PS blowing out the back. I also have a vantec spectrum keeping my video card nice and cool.

The Xaser III Lanfire case has one fan in the front(bottom) sucking air in, one on the windowed side(left) sucking air in, one on the other side blowing out, and one on the back right below the PSU blowing out....right?

(I researched it alot, but finally decided on the full tower...if it would ever come back in stock for me to order

)

I would suggest putting in a blowhole if you don't already have one. Handy-dandy guide for that somewhere here >> http://www.tweaknews.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3341

You could most definately make a blowhole.
Basically, though, you can just fill up all the fan slots and you should be dandy.
