Actually, you may want to stick with only one or two fans up front, unless you are going for some specific cosmetic look.

Remember, too many fans may actually reduce your cooling. If the fans are fighting each other, they will just recycle the hot air.

If you have ventilation holes, make sure that they don't interfere with optimum air patterns. You want cool air coming into the case, going across hot components, and then immediately exiting the case. The wrong fan placement could take incoming cool air and expel it before it even cools your mobo, CPU or cards.
