    One fan in the front, instead of two still cools well.
    Most important is to have a good heatsink fan on the cpu.
    Aftermarket air coolers are cheap.
    Already have a Be Quiet! Pure Rock BK009 using a static pressure Pure Wings 2 to vent the air through it, so the heatsink is no worry. I just need the fans to ensure optimal conditions and a constant supply of cool air because I want the build to last a few years and ventilation might be a problem given it’s position near the corner of the room. If I only put one in the front, will it still be OK to put 2 in the rear? I don’t know much about how to deal with pos/neg pressure.

      No tower that I have seen has provision for 2 fans in the rear.
      I build computers all the time. It will cool ok with one fan in the rear.
      When you build, take note of hardware temps, and if there is an issue we will deal with it then.
      I have nine computers in the house.LOL
      Must go now, near midnight here.

        Jeez, that’s a lot of computers. Cheers for the help, I’ll get to work on installing 1 intake and 1 exhaust, and then based on the results I’ll be back to see if there’s some room for improvement. I always thought more fans = better cooling, but the proof is in the pudding, it seems. Time to go place an order.
