Hahah that link is for a 300R ink cartridge. But if you open in a new tab it works. ANYWAYS. No, you don't need side pannel fans. Heck, you dont need fans at all.. But if you don't want your components to die in a year its probably a good idea. With the 300R there is "two 120mm/140mm top fan mount locations, two side panel 120/140mm fan mount locations, and two front panel 120/140mm fan mount locations. Now for a complete setup for fans this would be Ideal: two high cf/m 140mm fans for intake and then for exhaust I would do the two upper fans as quiter 120mm fans with a lower cf/m and then run two side panel fans off a fan splitter. The side panel fans would be the same as the top exhaust fans. Then the PSU would be fan side down and...

The side panel fans would be the same as the top exhaust fans. Then the PSU would be fan side down and AWAY from any carpet or dusty areas etc.. I don't know what motherboard/fan controller you are using so I can't tell you exactly what you can do because I don't know how many fan headers you have. But to go back to your question: No you dont really need side panel fans at all.. if you have two intake and two exhaust fans that is just fine. But it never hurts to have more fans. Haha sorry that's a lot of typing but I just want to make sure you have a proper fan setup. And one worry with having two side panel exhaust fans would be that the air in taking from the front might get sucked right out the side of the case rather than up into your CPU cooler and out the rear.
