Would two fans be better than one? my thought is to install at bottom and top!

it can't hurt to have two...i installed two on my frig when i replaced the cooling system...on a 90 deg day the frig is 50 deg inside with two fans...

Probably couldn't hurt if you have the room, I thought about doing the same. The fan is decent for what it is, but doesn't push all that much air. You could wire both fans to operate on the same switch. I have noticed that the fan does help the performance of the unit in hot temps. Good luck dude.

Hello there, 2 fans might work well - in my installation, I only installed one fan near the bottom blowing the air upwards. That seems to keep the fan motor out of extra heat from the frig. and should extend the motor life... I am in SW Texas and it does get hot here... Good Luck with your project!!

not sure if you will have room at the bottom for a fan with this profile, but I run a 4" computer "muffin" style fan at the lower vent.

I doubt that would be a good install method because this fan is made to mount in the upright position. It slides down over the mounting bracket and if it were upside down, gravity and vibration would cause it to fall.

The direction the fan on the PSU is facing doesn't really matter. There is no wrong way to mount the PSU. I personally prefer the PSU mounted with the fan facing down so it gets access to its own fresh air supply instead of using air that's already in the case.

Yes, you can add two extra fans on the left side panel. Any size. Make sure you have enough fan controller plugins, if not buy a fan controller card to plug into a PCIe slot.

I believe you can only fit one 140mm fan. Two 120mm fans with no problem but not two 140mm fans.

I installed a Seidon 240M with dual fans on the top. It was very difficult to keep the fan that came with the case also on the top. If you just want to use the two 120mm water cool fans and remove fan that came with the case you will have no issues at all. I just wanted all 3 and was a bit difficult and needed unique set up.

Yes you can put a 2 fans in the top if your motherboard allows for it. My RAM almost touches one of the fans and the other fan spot is blocked by my CPU heatsink. There is also a spot for a fan in the back that blows directly on to the CPU. As far as the front goes, I'm almost positive you can put one behind the front panel but I've never tried to do that.

I depends on which direction you mount it. Many people prefer on a multi fan case to exhaust through the back and top with the side and front sucking air in.

The airflow is actually pretty good. You can install two fans on top pushing air out. You can install fans in front pulling air in. There are gaps with vents along the top and in the front that do not look like they allow much flow, but they are just fine. The power supply in this case is installed upside down as there is a vent on the bottom. If you did not turn it upside down, I would recommend it.

I am using them in a vertical/sideways position for two fans with no problem. . Bright lights. Good luck

Either should be fine. You can always bend them off. They only give a bit more stability to the fan itself. It gets power via cable that is included. I'm running two of these in my server. Needed. A longer card they wasn't a blower type fan. I have one above and below my RAID card to keep it cool.

The fans can be mounted any way you like. If you mount them on TOP of the unit I would recommend having them Draw the air out instead of trying to keep the hot air blowing back into the unit

I have 8 fans and 4 radiators. It took some customization but it's possible. You can easily fit a dual fan 360 radiator in the top.

It is an impressive fan and a definite focal point in the room, my one fan does not feel massive in my modest sized living room and it is much larger than the fan it replaced. If your space is relatively large two should not be a problem. Also this fan should look particularly good viewed from above.

- one on the side - one at the top - one at the back - one at the front I added 1 extra fan at the top since there is an opening spot, I use this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LE8BJA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope this helps

There are two spots for 120 fans at the top. There should be no problem with these fans fitting up there.

There are two slots for top fans. They can hold two of either 120mm or 140mm fans
