Helllo all,

Doing a massive upgrade on my rig but reusing my XASER III case. Using build to hold an ESXi implementation with 5-10 VMs for home lab use. No OC, no gaming... other details: Asrock z87 extreme9,32 GB Ripsaws Z, using the mobo's video/sound, 5x 3TB 7200 rpm HDD sata3....stock cpu fan.

Question: I am worried about heat management in my old case after reading some of the forum entries. Can I get away with my case's 7x80mm fans or will I need to water cool?

thx in adv....
