I got a Sony RM420 I hear the cases are pretty bad when it comes to airflow, its got a Pentium 4 2.8 HT 800 FSB 1 gig pc2700 upgrading to pc3200 and getting a new video card within the next week. Its a ATI 9800 PRO 256 DDR, I was wondering should I cut a hole in the side and top for better airflow and put some fans blowing the hot air out and how big of fans would you guys recomend. And what do you guys use to cut the holes in your cases?

i think 1 120mm fan would be great...something like a Vantec Tornado or something

hmm...i would say a 120mm fan about where the vid card + processor is and another 120 mm fan above the hsf...

but remember...if you add fans then be prepared to take out the dust bunnies every month or two.. :(...or get fan filters :D
