Hi I am trying to get parts to build a computer and I'm starting with the case. I'm checking out newegg and I am stuck trying to figure out how many and what type of fans I can put into my case. I will be overclocking and I am going to need a lot of cooling. In general how do I know the types and quantity of fans I can fit into my case, and where exactly they can be installed. For example, in this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811196006
it only says it comes with 2 120mm fans. It doesn't say any options for installing more/different fans. But in reviews, people are talking about 80mm fans and such.

And next question has to do with the mobo, specifically to newegg. How do I know which motherboards can be OCed? When I search in newegg, the most it says is can be overclocked to 1066fbs or something, does it say anywhere on newegg if a certain motherboard can be OCed?

sry for the newbie questions and Thanks in advanced!

You'll have better success most likely with a non-wind tunnel case. You can fit bigger heatsinks, and the fan arrangement is more logical. You can always install fans later into a case. Some cases have fan mounts that are empty when you buy them. Others (like mine) have a really great place to mount a fan that isn't a real fan mount. Check out reviews for the case you're interested in. Most reviews will talk about all of the fan mounts that are in the case. Some cases come with the fans already, but a lot of the stock fans are pretty middle-of-the-road. Okay CFM, and alright dB. Panaflo fans are really nice, as are thermaltake thunderblades. There are a lot of good fans out, you just have to take the time to look.
