Saw that a while ago.
I don't think I need a fan, might just put a strain on my power supply
 
Can fans really put that much strain on a PSU?

He was joking, unless his psu is already at its max. Fans barely use any power, even my high performance corsair sp120's.

Thanks for the heads up. I already got a couple of these http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_130&item_id=026764 and a spare in case one craps out (not expected, but better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it). They're whisper-quiet (quieter than what I got on my lappy) and keep the casing nice and cool. Even with 100% load on all the cores, never went over 66 degrees after 10min of continuous use (a lot of the credit goes to the new CPU cooling setup that I needed to ghetto to fit). Thanks for all the tips, Jamie ;) Not a big fan of LED's as I find them distracting.

Maybe 5w?
My dino rig has 3 large fans running off of it, plus my power supply is only 500w.

U gotta consider the extra noise too
