please post a pic of your cabinet in order of FRONT,SIDE,BACK. i think it has only provision for 1 rear exhaust of 80mm. Still need the pics.

won't support anything bigger than 90mm. Cooler Master 90 CFM LED Cooler. try to find a set of 3-4 NON-LED or so 90mm fan. will cost around 600.

^^ Buddy the link you have mentioned is for 120mm which won't fit on Op's cabby.

@ OP -90nm fans are hard to get and pricey too - so you better get 80nm non LED fan - Aerocool Ball Bearing 80mm fans will cost you Rs. 150 each.

Looking at the pics, I guess you can install 3 fans...two on the rear, and one on side..

I would suggest hook up a 80mm on the rear as an exhaust...or even two...and add one to side as intake...

rear case fan is more important..even if you dont put the side fan, it should be fine..

A good fan including the one mentioned by SAM, will cost you atleast 500 bucks..
you could look for cheaper ones if you wish BUT IT IS NOT RECOMENDED..

Side intake is necessary. I would recommend getting 3 fans, measure the fan slots by yourself.

Get 3 and install like this -Priority Wise--

1- Rear Exhaust
2- Side intake
3- Front Intake (If availible)
4- Second rear exhaust

There will be many options, go to your nearest dealer. Get a good fan, if your luck permits, you might get it from a good brand, otherwise, get a quality looking fan , no matter the company, and if you get a silent one... :)..

I doubt on LED.. :(

whats funny is that, he cant even get the corsair cx430 v2 ...he said that ,he has zebronics etc 400w psu costing around rs.500 and an umax 600w psu costing rs.1000!..
