Solve : ATX Casing?

Answer» CASING: Trendsonic IRock IR11A ATX (black)

1x CPU Fan - the airflow is going to heat sink of CPU
1x Chassis Fan 8cm (side) - the airflow is going to CPU Fan
1x Chassis Fan 12cm (front) - the airflow is going to Hard Disk and in center of chassis

Available vents:
1x Side Vent for 8cm Chassis Fan
1x Rear Vent (below PSU Fan) for 12cm Chassis Fan

1) Any recommendations?
2) Do I need to add chassis fan/s for the available vents?
3) And if I add chassis fan/s, what would be the airflow direction?

Here's my machine:

I'd advise adding a rear EXHAUST fan (the 12cm one below the PSU).
Your system shouldn't run very hot anyway, but an exhaust fan is always a good idea. It should blow out the back of the case.
Hope this helps.Alright, thanks for the advise. Maybe I'll REMOVE 1x Chassis Fan 8cm (side) and add 1x Chassis Fan 12cm (rear) for the exhaust.
