Hi,

As Why_Me recommended, I will look to buy this case:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811119196

I was wondering if there's spots for extra fans on the case, and if they help? If it can hold extra fans, what type do I need to buy?? How much do the extra fans actually help usually??

Looks like you can swap the top fan for a 120mm and add 2 side fans in the window.

i have that case. The side panel you can add two 120mm fans. They will help cool the GPU mostly, and maybe the CPU.

You can install a 120mm on top instead of a 140mm if you want.

You can get the 120mm cooler master fans with the red LEDs ... those seem to be really nice with low dba.
And just a warning, if you have a tall heatsink, the top fan on the side panel will NOT fit.

This review attempts to answer your fan questions. I've linked the specific page, but you may need to back up a couple of pages to understand it.
