as long as you're not using those industry grade, powerful delta fans, any psu should be ok

well u could try:
Front :120 mm Blue LED fan x 1, 1200 rpm, 21 dBA,(intake)
Rear : 120 mm standard fan, 1200 rpm, 21 dBA,(exhaust)
Top : 120 or 140 mm fan x 2 (exhaust) is a must, it helps a lot
Bottom : 120 mm fan x 1 (intake)
Left: 120mm fan x 2 (intake/exhaust) oh, ur using the cm stock side panel, mine got window so only 1 slot sweat.gif (try intake, helps in GC n NB, SB cooling)
better filter all intakes, or it'll be horrible in a week inside.
Extra suggestions: if u got only 3 slots free at the cd bay, screw an intake there. Yours should be top io panel right?
Hope it helps. laugh.gif

wooo bo so many fans??? too many can be overkill and just not effective...1 x 120 to blow in and 1 80 to suck out qhile 1 blow hd should be sufficient...I think??

erm . . . i dont think so, i think. Well all the back n top are exhaust while the side, bottom and front is intake so i guess the flow is just fine, hopefully sweat.gif , no way to try and c airflow turbulance rclxub.gif

7 fans should be no problem on any psu.. most important is the hardware you use.. im using 7 fans also (including psu fan)... 6 fans in the casing and another one on the modem because my modem too hot which on for 24/7.. smile.gif

If it comes with 3 pin means 3 pin is enough to supply the power to the fans.
