yeah, u r right superdav007...and also what bro ianho said is true.case ventilation is very important.unless u wan't to build a watercooled rig, don't need much air ventilation in ur casing...

choosing right cooler and fans also improtant. maybe u want to build a silent setup and of couse u need much more silent cooler and fan.that's mean extra budget....

and more important is make sure ur Hdd on the path of air ventilation.it's important if u are running ur pc in quite long time..
that's just a noobie oppinion, base on my readings and experience only...

much more like that la...but for me, even stock cpu cooling make me gone crazy when it reach full speed.i much prefer silent setup..it's not only to oc if u want to change the stock cooler..better aftermarket cooler will increase ur system stability, more over in an oc-ed system....

yeah2....just like that...but for blowhole, no need ultra speed fans, maybe u can find some low rpm high cfm fans somewhere in bulk session...
air conditioned room also would help to drop ur casing's temp...

and one more things,just watch out for dust, always clean up ur rig.more intake means more dust.more dust stuck in ur casing equivalent to much slower performance...adding dust filter only can reduce dust problem, unless u r living in the 100% clean air enviroment... ...i do once in a couple of weeks, pop out my side panel, n clean up all the dust.just last week, i found dead bug in my casing.. must be due to my unfiltered side intake fan..hehhe...
