i got a rocketfish and its not modded at all.
is the air flow okay ?
having a amd phll 940 with a gtx 285.
would it be okay for cooling?
also would it be okay if i left the panels off so it can cool better?

Its not great but with 3 good fans I would not worry. If you want to add any fans I would add a 250mm top fan and a 120 side fan.

if you are using stock fans there is no airflow.

I often have this debate with myself also, in theory the case would be more open to air, making you think it would cool better, but i find it cools better with it on since it doesnt disrupt the airflow, which it would with it being off.

Test both ways and see which is cooler

I dont know alot about fans but those are ok. They will be louder than stock. Check out Yates fans alot of people on here like them.
