I'm assembling a new desktop in a Thermaltake V100 case. The case comes with a 120mm fan attached to the rear and accommodates additional 120mm/140mm fans on the top and front panel. The manual shows 2- and 3-unit fans (the latter for the front) but I don't find such units in my web searches. The

I would recommend adding one intake fan (or even relocating the existing fan) in a filtered location. This is not (directly) for cooling, but to maintain positive pressure inside the case. If your exhaust is greater than the intake, then it pulls in air wherever it can, this leads to dust being pul
