Tech Building a new box... case fan concern
Ok ... its finally my turn to move up and onward into new territories...

Typical chieftec case

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Retail

and a 2500+ Bart Simpson Proc and 2 sticks of 256 PC3200 (in case I want to upgrade the proc down the road)

Now the case has 2 fans blowing out, and 1 blowing in from the side, but it doesn't seem to have a fan on the front blowing in... I'm not into OC'ing but would prefer it not overheat for some crazy reason

So what kind of fan would be good for that front grill?
I have no clue

Any other comments are welcome as well.

Thoughts, concerns, rants?

Chieftec cases have TWO case fans blowing in on the front...it may not be included with what you buy though.

There are two slots, one blowing in on very bottom, and one that blows through a 3.5" bay to cool your hard drives

So just pick up a Sunon fan...they're cheap and work great.

It's pretty quiet actually. I have 4 case fans going in my system, and if I'd turn down my Volcano 9 it would be a lot quieter

You won't needs 4 fans though..they're aluminum and they keep VERY cool.

they are all 80mm fans.

Watch your RAM and power supply choices with this board. I will provide the link to MSI nForce forum
MSI forums

I personally own the board you are considering. I absolutely love it.

btw, thank you for the warning.. I checked that top thread and did see two folks in there with the PC3200 crucial and they were quite pleased

checking for PSU now.
