4 fans (1 pc, 1 cpu, 2 gpu). Gigabyte GTX 660.

Also, I didn't assemble the PC.

Add an intake fan in the front.

I'm not sure if I can remove the front panel. It doesn't seem like I can.

It probably snaps on. However, does the side panel have any place to put a fan?

 

Nevermind. It doesn't.

No, but I can put a fan or two on the top though.

Do you know what case you're using?

According to the spec sheet, you can definitely install a fan on the front.

Can you flip the PC over(with it off if possible) and take a picture of the bottom?

No fans there. The PCU fan is headed downwards, I know it's dusty.

I'm not worried about fans. I'm trying to figure out how you remove the front.

Ahh. I think I got that in my manual.

Since you want that picture so bad I'm going to take one just for you in a few mins.

If it's in the manual, I may not need it. But might as well just do it.

According to a review of the product, you can remove the front by pulling on the bottom. There's a location to put your hand through, and it should pop off.

Huh. I did try to do it just a few minutes ago and it didn't seem like there was a place to put a fan in. If I wanted to remove the front panel completely, I would've had to remove some screws - and by that I don't mean removing the DVD reader, but 4 or 6 screws that were holding the front panel.
