Re: Case fans. It's important to avoid negative pressure in a case. You don't want to stall air inside the power supply, which generally has a moderate speed fan. The rule of thumb is to have a near equal number of fans blowing in and out. Most cases have a rear case fan and PS fan, both blowing out. This one has a modest sized rear fan (that can be seen in the picture). The next fan you'd typically add would be a front or side case fan blowing in. In addition to the rear case fan, this case has 3 fairly impressive looking blowers on top of the video cards all blowing out the back. They've added 4 side fans blowing in which look to provide a good balance. Given the 3 blower equipped video cards and rear case fan blowing out, I'd be careful to not read too much into 4 fans blowing in. This setup maybe be saying more about power and cooling requirements of triple high end video cards than about the CPU.
