What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

Attachment: I have this particular case (screenshot courtesy from Enermax's site), and while it came with the Power Supply, it did not come with any case fans

I'm an admitted novice when it comes to cooling, so please forgive my "density" on this.
•What size case fans would fit in this?•How many could go in here (without modifying the case itself)?
Basically, with what I'm looking for in the case fan(s):
•reliability - if it's built to last a long time, It's worth it in that sense.•A good, low noise level is a big plus •A good cfm rating helps a lot, too •To make things easy, is it possible that it could plug into the Power supply?
I don't plan on overclocking anytime soon... I just want to make sure that it could stay nice and cool when I can get my replacement mobo, and could use some recommendation for some I should look for.

**EDIT**

In case anyone helps, here is a link from Newegg that shows a more 'advanced' model of the same case I have, sans the additional fan grills and front jacks.

Re: What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

I believe that most computer cases use 80 mm fans. Of course, I could always be wrong.

Take a look in the inside and see if there are any slots for the fans to go into.

Picture #1: Okay, I know that I could put a case fan here

Picture #2: What is this? Could I put a case fan here?

Sorry for the quality of the pics, but I just took 'em a few minutes ago w/ my Intel PC cam.

Re: What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

Looks like you could put a case fan in both of those. 80mm should fit in both. They run on average about $10 each.

Re: What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

Okay, but one small question about the front setup:
How would I put on the case there?
Do I take off the black thing there, or just put the case fan on it?

Btw, how is this fan? It's a SUNON 80x80x25mm, Ballbearing, Case Fan, DC 12V, 2.1W, 2900 RPM, 39.0 CFM, 4-pin. MODEL: KD1208PTB2 (description from Newegg).

I also saw this one as well:
Super cool "silent" transparent case fan Specifications: 80x80x25mm TWO Ball Bearings, Brushless design DC 12V, 1.6W, 2700 RPM 31 CFM 28dBA With chrome fan grill Comes with 3 to 4 pin adapter.
looks pretty cool

Re: What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

If you're going to case mod a lot, I think they have fans with lights on them. So when you're looking the case you can see the lights spinning on them.

Definately more money, not sure how much, but worth the cha-ching if you 're modding.

Re: What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

I don't think I'd go that far yet. Just starting simple, you know?

These caught my eye since I could get that Sunon at a retail store(but it costs like $20 for the store I could get it ).

That clear one? well, I just like transparent stuff like that - got into that kinda look for hardware since the Clear game boys so that fan might fit nicely

Also, it's a bit of a plus that the clear one can plug directly to the PSU and have an extra connector available

Well, you got pic 1 correct.
Pic 2 is for a case fan in front, sucking air in and blowing it across the case to the rear.

Get case fans to fit, front intake, rear exhaust, and a good heat-sink fan and you should have a decent setup.

Sorry, one last question (about the Sunon fan): what's its noise rating? I know it's 2900rpm, but there was no word on its noise level.

Re: What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

Here's the Sunon you are talking about. It costs $4.00. I have 3 in my Lian Li and the noise level isn't that loud. I use these in every case I have.

Standard 80mm Case Fan. A better quality and performance than our Evercool 80mm Case Fan.
-Ball Bearing Fan
-2900 rpm +/- 10%
-80x80x25mm
-35 CFM of Air
-33 dba
-Choose from 3pin or 4pin connector

Re: What kind of fans can I fit on this case?

Thanks for the help there, Eddie much appreciated.

Looks like I'll go with the Sunon fans. The clear one is nice, but since I'm not planning on case modification yet, kinda unnecessary Not to mention, it is of course a little cheaper

At least I already know what to look for when I go shopping then
