    Hi all

    I think the time has come to try and help my system cool down a bit.
    I would like to add an 80 or maybe 120mm side fan to blow air in.

    Where would be the best place to position it on the side pannel?

    Right smack in the middle of the pannel?
    Maybe back a bit to blow over the h/s and the PCI slots?
    Maybe right over the PCI slots to hlep the G card?

    Any comment will be welcomed.

    Many thanks for looking...

    A better idea would be to add two fans!
    One over the RAM or CPU and the other over the expansion slots!

    yeah having 2 would be better, blowing over the MOBO/RAM is a great idea, and over the graphics card expansion slots and CPU is another great idea, also do you have a top exhaust fan? you could do with one if you dont have one to help suck the hot air out that is cool>blown over motherboard and RAM>heated up>that then rises to top of case
    just helps to remove that hot air that could end up floating around you computer...
