Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'm good on the fan front. The case I have has a good amount of slots for 120mm fans (6 slots to be exact), and I don't plan on packing too much into the case. I won't be using more than a single video card, two HDDs, and the PSU is modular so I won't have errant cables obstructing airflow. I'll likely go with a pair of 120mm fans (one in the front and one in the rear), blowing front to back and see how that goes.
