902 side fan slot

[azurite]

I just brought a Antec 902 and plan on doing some overclocking soon, so i was planning to put a fan in the empty side slot.
However would it be better for it to be blowing in or out? and if in, are there any air filters around like the ones in the front of the case? Thanks alot

Blowing in most likely, what other fans do you have currently? As for the air filters, I'm not sure.

I suggest try it without the side fan. And if you do not need it, leave it off.

I have three systems, all highly overclocked, in Antec 900 cases. Side fans, in my case, do not help cooling.

I have a 902 and once you add a good aircool HSF your worries are over.
You won't be able to put a side fan on lol!
If you want add more cooling to your case just use the extra drive cage fan mount.
I did it fits right in front of my 5850 and dropped temps 2-3C.

its all default fans which i know are good, and I got a free fan along with some stuff a brought so i though i might stick it in anyway. But yea i also was wondering if it would fit after i put in a aftermarket hsf. and i totally forgot about the hdd cage fan slot lol. thanks for that suggestion
