Ok I see that there's a circular hole at the top, but I'm not sure, can this case support a fan?

Although not feasible for many applications, you could use a "chimney". Mount a long tube to the opening. As it fills with hot air, you will get significantly increased convection cooling. It works and it doesn't require any power.

It can support a 30mm fan and it works better with a heat sink and the fan pulling air up instead of down

The back of the case is open, but I don't see how you would mount fans there. The top of the case swings back, which makes me think mounting anything in that open area would be difficult. There are several open card bays on mine, and I think I have the biggest MB made. You could definitely mount a fan card or two there. I'm running a pretty tweaked system and haven't had any overheating issues.

No the fan isn't strong enough for that. I had to buy another fan just for my use.

Hello Rashad, The case only has two fan mount positions. The rear fan is about 80mm wide, and four additional screw holes are there for the next largest standard fan size (100mm?). I also have a larger fan (which I believe is a 140mm, if memory serves), that I mounted in front.The removable side door has many ventilation holes which could undoubtedly hold an improvised side-mounted fan if you really need extra ventilation. The power supply has it's own fan of course, but no one counts these. One odd thing, I notice that this case is slightly noisier than my others. Virtually all of the noise comes from my stock Intel CPU fan, despite running cool at it's fairly quiet default speed. By comparison, the front and back fans are virtually silent.

You could probably do it if you did not use the fan which is installed on the bottom, but the case is really set up for the cords to go out the top. It has a really clean look due to its small size. Unfortunately it's super cramped inside and I can't imagine more wiring going through and then out the bottom.

no, not really because it's not flat. it's curved to allow air from laptop fan to escape.

I WOULD RECOMMEND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE THAT THE FAN COULD BE SAFELY OPERATED ON ITS SIDE. It appears to be designed to be used standing up (vertically). There's a vent that wraps around the back and from side to side.

I would say yes. the fan is very lightweight, and the base actually has some weight to it due to the magnets that attach

The info for that cooler says it is 160mm high. If that is accurate it should just fit. I had the top off of mine and measured and it looks to me like there is 165mm of height available for a fan. However I don't think you would be able to use the top case fan with that cooler.

You could, but you would have to stay with a rather small pre-filled cooler, fans would have to mount to the top, no room any place else. Check it out, I think Thermaltake makes a water cooler that will fit, ask them, they are very helpful.

It has a built in fan which needs clearance on the sides and bottom so I don't think the manufacturer would recommend it.

If I recall correctly I could bottom mount it with the intake fan up or down so I would assume there would be no problems with top mounting it. Though if you mounted it with the intake fan pointing down you would be pulling hot air from inside the case so it is not preferable but it would probably work fine as a lot of proprietary pc's do that.

I dont think so. I think the air is much thinner and would not fit into the top part of the case that holds it in.

It has 3 fans one in back one on top and one in front. There may be enough room to fit one more 120 mm fan if you want

Yes, it would, as the base does not have vent holes and the computer sits flat on the stand. My computer, also a Dell, does not have vent holes on the bottom, only on the sides and the main fan vent on the back. My vents on the side line up with the holes in the stand no problem, and of course the rear fan is not obstructed at all. I have absolutely no concerns about ventilation on my computer case.

I have the case and the fan. They work well together. The only place to mount the fan is on the top panel.

It comes standard with a rear 120mm fan, but has space for two up top, one in the front and one down at the bottom. Having fans at the top isn't a problem if you use the right one to avoid vibration. Being able to fit the top fans also depends on you're mother board, as the space in there can get quite tight. One other thing too note is that you can't mount water cooling radiator, such as a Corsair H80, a there isn't the clearance room. Over all though a good case for the money.
