i have five 102mm fans facing at the motherboard but they are making my case bigger and bigger any advice on how to downsize?

do you have a reason for needing 5 120 mm's?

you also need to exhaust what you are pulling in to create a cool flow across everything

I don't understand the question!, how are the fans' making your case bigger?

Maybe follow Walt's idea of just cutting to the chase and sticking a box fan on the side and cutting holes in the top and sides to allow for airflow.

..anyone have experience with this System Blower FC-2000. Looking like it is going to be anyother source to make the case cooler.
