PC Server Reboot

Hi guys and girls :tiphat:

Great to be back again after a long break! So here I am once again in a situation that requires a degree of stealth so I'm dusting off the PC Case.

This round the lighting will be provided by a tried and tested 180w led unit, it's a nice peice of kit as it fits perfectly in the case (it's rectangular) and can be dimmed to .5w 1w or 3w on each panel of 30 led's (the unit has 2 light panels in it).

This is a major upgrade from the cfl's I've used previously in this case (30watters) as they just generated too much heat or I wasn't venting efficiently.

The main issue I am struggling to get my head around is the configuration of fans for cooling, circulation and scrubbing. I will be buying my supplies either from ebay uk amazon uk or maplin.

The main consensus appears to be scrubber on the back of the pc (this works well as this is hidden from view) and intakes to the front of the pc at the bottom.

So my questions are:

1. What size outtake pc fan for carbon scrubber any suggestions with links would be massively appreciated.
2. What size and how many intake fans - any links would be great.
3. How would you set the fans out to get the best airflow and scrubbing.

Remember I'm in the UK so from uk suppliers ideally.

If anyone would like to see a pic of the case let me know and i'll put some up. I'll be starting a diary when this is nailed for anyone interested to follow.

Any help would be massively appreciated :thank you:
