Reviewers said to buy extra fans. How many extra fans slots does the case allow? +1 in front and +1 in back?

I installed 4 120mm fans, one on the bottom just in front of the power supply, one in front behind the front cover of the case (that just pulls off) one in back of the case and one on top of the case. If you have a mid to full size mobo, the top fan will have to be moved over a bit and then secured with just 2 case fan screws as it will not line up properly, mid to full size mobos tend to block the fan from being installed on the pre fit holes.

This case allows for 2 fans on top,1 in the front, and one on the bottom. A total of 5 fans can be put in the case. The case is supplied with only 1 fan in the rear, all slots used would total 5 fans.

I just put 2 new ones in, one on the door panel and one on the top of the case but you can add another on the bottom and somehow one on the front, so 4 in total extra. There already is one in the back but I'm removing it to install my liquid cooling solution.

There is one fan in the front that would go on the front panel itself. There is one in the back that comes with the case and is already attached. Finally, there are two places for fans in the top of the case, although, depending on your motherboard you may not have room for a fan in one of these slots because (on mine for instance) there is not enough room between the case and the RAM slots. And there is one on the bottom that could go next to the power supply.

In addition to the placements others are talking about, you can mount an 80mm fan on the door panel and secure it with two screws through the vent holes. It will not be straight (you'll have to tilt it a bit for the holes to align) but I found this fan pours cold air over the hot components on the motherboard very efficiently

There is also one on the side window, and possibly 2 on top? I'm not sure as I am not home.

The case comes with 1 in the back, I put 2 on the top panel, and one in front. It allows for one on the side and one on the floor of the case.

4 fans 1 front 1 inside and 2 on top it comes with one fan installed in back

This case comes with only one Front 120mm fan and the option for a second 80mm fan. There is no rear fan but it is a 92mm slot.

It comes with 3 fans. One in the front(Blue led fan) then one in the top and one in the back. There are extra spots to put 2 more fans on the side of the case, but really the 3 work just fine.

it comes with 1 fan i think you can add maybe 1 or 2 coolers more on this as this is not a high end case it may only be able to add 1 more maybe 2 idk i would check at there website over the case

The case comes with a power supply which has a fan and a small case fan on the side/top of the unit. There are no places to install additional fans. One nice thing though is that the CPU fan has a vent directly above it. So in a way the CPU fan acts as a case fan because the case is so small and the side vent is so close to the CPU. I'm running an A10-5800K APU and I haven't had overheating issues. I did have overheating issues when I attempted to overclock it. It's not exactly an overclocking case. You're most likely going to be fine with up to 100W TDP CPU or APU in this case. I highly recommend looking into AMDs line of APUs. With an APU in this thing you can make a mighty fine SteamBox. One thing worth mentioning is that this case is TIGHT! My CD drive is touching my ram. There is no extra clearance. If you get ram that has huge cooling fins you may have a bad day depending on the layout of your motherboard.

There's mounting points for just about any standardised fan size you can get. From 40-220. If you're buying it new (or used but complete) it's already loaded to the brim with fans to start you off.Enjoy the case; it's really worth it.

This case has room for one 80km 90mm or 120mm exhaust fan in the back of the case and you can also connecct a fan to the side vent, up to 120mm. So two 120mm fans total should be all.

No fans cone with this case. Depending on the size of your motherboard and video card, it can mount intake and exhaust fans in the front , top , rear and bottom of the case. I transferred the components of a gaming computer into this case and was able to install four fans.

It comes with four fans; two on the hard driver holders; one large fan on the top of the case (blowing out) and one exhaust fan on the back on the case, also blowing out. There are spots for about four more fans; two on the side of the case and I think two on the bottom. The bottom two are very difficult to install because wires and your power supply make it pretty tight down there. The side fans, however, are very easy to install and I recommend you get those. Just two regular sized fans (not the giant ones) will fit there easily.

It depends on what you plan on using it for, what your power supply can handle, and how many fans your motherboard supports. I personally added five 120mm fans (2 for top, 2 for side, and 1 for radiator in back), but it also includes two 120mm fans in the front of the case. Also, note that your power supply will take up one fan port on the bottom. So, in the end I used all fan ports (used 8 holds 9) except for one on the bottom. I am using my computer mainly for photoshop and gaming, so I need to keep my case at an optimal temperature at all times. Also, note that it does support four 240mm fans, so if you have the money or need the extra cooling potential you could put two on top and two on the side (instead of 120mm fans). With this setup, whether I'm running Borderlands 2 on max specs for hours on end or handling massive resolutions in photoshop, I have yet to overheat the case. Depending on your application, this might be overkill. For a simple home desktop setup I would recommend two additional 120mm fans (most home setups get away with just two fans totat, however this case is much larger than most cases). Finally, if you just want the bare minimum for a gaming rig you could probably get away with three additional (instead of 5)120mm fans. Hope this helps! P.S. I realized I forgot to mention what fans I'm using. I'm using some Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm fans.

There is 1 front 120mm intake fan (included) and 1 80 or 92mm rear exhaust fan slot (not included)

I comes with one 120mm in the rear and has a 120mm port in the front and has two 90 or 92mm door fan spots. I haven't needed to use them. In the past, I have put fans on the inside just to push on my graphics card. So you could put 4 or 5 fans on it but it would be overkill for my system. Does that answer your question?

Just received my case yesterday. 2 fans, exactly as shown in the photos. One in front, one in back.

It has mounts for 7 fans altogether. 5 in the case ( 2 on top, 1 on bottom, 1 on the rear, and one in the front), and 2 on the side panel. I know it comes with the front fan installed, I believe it comes with one additional fan as well. If you are planning on water cooling, this probably isn't the case for you. To install my radiator, I had to cut the top mesh off to mount the radiator on the top, with my fans mounted to it inside the case under it.

Per the tech specs you can mount on the side either 1 200mm fan or 2 120/140mm fans. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/obsidian-series-550d-mid-tower-quiet-case

Yes you can put a 2 fans in the top if your motherboard allows for it. My RAM almost touches one of the fans and the other fan spot is blocked by my CPU heatsink. There is also a spot for a fan in the back that blows directly on to the CPU. As far as the front goes, I'm almost positive you can put one behind the front panel but I've never tried to do that.
