Tsk,
I am not going to stick in any fans right now, the motherboard is a low heat generating board plus it has a thermal shutdown. The case does have 1 fan that blows air out. The weather is also kinda cool now, for the summer next year i will explore cooling options if the cpu gets too hot. These are things i can add as i go along so i will take it as it comes , besides i dont know the exact placing of the case yet so i cant plan airflow for now.

cheers.
