Only one fan, though. Do you plan to add an exhaust/intake to help cool it?

um it did only come with the one side fan but i purchased a Cooler Master Aero 4 cpu fan which is maintaining the processor at an avg of 33°C - 40°C at a 2800RPM fan rate(set at mid power with no overclocking[still doing research on that]) but yeah i do plan on purchasing more for the rear and maybe one up in the front for the hard drives.
i did do some homework on the case and some reviews say the rear vent holes could of been better in which i agree so i kind of want to take a drill and just make the holes a bit wider so it has better circulation
