Its easy to get hung up on temps now we are used to everything running so hot, but if you think/look back at cases back then airflow wasn't even a consideration with ribbon cables everywhere and only extraction fan being the power supply.It's not a bad idea to have a fan or 2 to help keep things cool now, but just remember its not necessary especially if your using a somewhat modern case with decent air flow
My case is not modern at all; it's a small AT-case with hardly any fan mounting points whatsoever. There is space for a small fan at the front; but there's not much of a point installing one as all the air flow is blocked by the front panel. It's a nice looking case though. I have ordered one PCI-fan for the Voodoo card, but nothing for the Trio yet. If it happens to be needed after all, I will get another one for the Trio as well. 😀
