    Hi lads. I bought a Corsair 275R with the intention of building a pc with my son on Xmas day. Anyway I'm worried that I didn't buy any case fans for it...Should I buy some or will it be ok as is? Thanks in advance. Oh we won't be overclocking or anything..

    Depends on what's going in, but it's never a bad idea to have some air coming in somewhere and being pushed out of the back. Are you putting an aio cooler in? Buy 2 or 3 120mm fans for backup cause its always better to have and not need, especially if you're building over the holiday when everything is closed.

    Definitely get at least 2 so - one at the front and one at the back and you should be good.

    From a quick look it seems the 275R comes with two fans so you should be fine as you are.

    As long as a case has at least one exhaust fan and you're not using super high-end parts it's really fine. 2 is better obviously, one intake and one outtake. No harm having more but the ones that come with your case are more than enough.
