I'm trying to add some fans to my case(right now there are ZERO) I want to have @ Least 1 exhaust and 1 intake fan, thing is all I can find is exhaust fans. My Ideal setup would be the intake fan in front(in one of the bays) and the exhaust fan in the back(either a 80mm Case or a Slot Fan)

Exuast and intake are the same, it's just which way you point them. If you take an exaust fan, flip it, and presto you have an intake.

Just an extra add-on to improve heat conduction in a case, 1. Make sure your intake fan has an air-filter on it, dust-bunnies on ur CPU dont help heat conduction 2. Have the intake at the bottom and the exhaust at the top, hot air rises, hence u want to expell hot air

You can purchase add on fans that fit into extra bay slots at the front on your PC and ones that will fit into any extra expansion slots at the rear of your tower. I installed a slot fan by Antec.It took all of five minutes to install and is very quiet. Its very important that you have a fan and heatsink on your processor a intake fan at the front of your PC and another fan to pull the heated air out off the tower .Keep in mind that I believe almost all power supplies have a fan ! Good Luck ,Nick
