Yo,
I already have and case fan in the lower front of my case and the back of my case. I was thinking of putting a 120mm in the top and have a 120mm in the left side of the case, in my window. What do u guys think??Is this effective fan placement??:afro:

yes it most certainly does. You would be best placing it right over the CPU that way it will act like an intake and the hsf gets nice cold air intake instead of the circulated hot air from within the case.

is it better above the cpu or above the pci slots...or both? (I'm planning on putting a fan on my window as well)

:confused:

With my cases I put the side intake just below the AGP slot so that the video and other cards get plenty of fresh air. ;)

Maybe but I've never found the need myself. ;)
