So, I bought a new case, i was wondering, should i replace the fans? Usually, they are crappy, but I've never use this brand, nor heard of it. And further more, any general things i could do to help it? Like thoose fan dampers? ( the thing that make them quieter) And maybe a Fan regulator?

Are you using the case yet?

I have a different case made on the same chasse, and I'll tell you right now, the space between the optical drives and the PSU is tight if your using a standard ATX supply. If you have long drives (HPs or the like) then your going to find it impossible to get them in the case without buying a short power supply.

That being said, I love mine. Origingally I was going to install a custom grill over the floppy slot and place a rotary fan in there, but the whole thing ran much cooler then I expected. Mine was an Aspire which shipped with a slightly subpar PSU, problems ensued. Now I have a nice Cooler Master in there and a power display in my floppy spot.

Oh sorry, I appear to have broken into a rant without adressing your primary question. While I'm not sure about the fans that are going to come with the brand you've purchased there, I know that my little case is the quietest PC I own. I have the the rear fan running at 100% all the time and the front on a toggle switch which I turn on durring particularly sticky summer days. ( Though I'm fairly sure that's not really even nessisary. ) Most of the intake seems to occur through the front of the sides even though the picture shows the intake in the front, which is why I don't often run my front fan.

But you know that's a pretty good deal there. If I had some extra money I might just buy one of those and put it in the closet for a later project. Well good luck.

Thank you very much, that helped alot, do you have aim? i might need help with fixing it up with fans...i dont usualyl work with case..im more a tech with motherboards...and it will be my second case ive used since......7th grade..so like......5 years...
