    well i have a mge quantum case, and i have 5 80mm fans running in it already. im not really worried about my temps right now, cuz i get bout 36c idle, and bout 42 on full load, but i was wondering how i would install a 120mm fan, im pretty sure i would need a mount to set it infront of the window, but where and how would i go about doing that?

    Most fans have mounts with screw holes. Just drill some holes in your side panel and place it there. But, why do you need so many fans anyway?

    cuz im paranoyed, and im thinking about overclocking. and i want alittle more cooling for when i start. ive overcloced ram n little stuff, but never my cpu. but will i be able to mount the fan on my quantum? my whole side pannel is basically all mesh.

    dude, you seriously don't need many fans to keep it from overheating.
    you need sensibly placed fans to keep it from overheating.
    for instance 2 intake (front) and 2 exhaust (rear)
    you could do that with 2 120mm's instead of 4 or 5 80mm's, which will spare your ears a bit more ;)
