Well guys, I might be looking for a new case, but I'd LOVE something that allows for both 120mm intake and exhaust fans, and so far I've only found cases that allow for 2 80mm intakes and one 120mm rear exhaust. I'm open to any suggestions, even if it means modding a case - all I'm looking for is one that will at least have the room for me to put one without having to do more than cutting a bigger hole on the ones that don't have a pre-cut 120mm fan mount.

I tried looking a few months back... cases with 120mm fans are rare... even though most could take at least one 120mm fan in the front, most go for one or two 80mm fans.

Most cases with 120mm fans tend to be small server cases.

Hmm, thats an idea, thanks - though it would need some good modding to get it looking half decent, heh. The "Sonata" looks a little bit better maybe, though impossible to find for sale.

I know, I know, its a pain to find, but I want a case that will allow for some good cooling at low temps... I'm tired of my Vantec Tornados, and don't feel like spending the money on Papst fans if I don't have to... hmmmm

80mm fans arnt that bad... and if you are looking for a case with airflow consider the atlas/dynatron/superflower SB-201.
room for 6 80mm fans... and the fans it actually comes with are very quiet... allmost as good as the silent panaflo's.
