You have the option of mounting a 120mm fan (or an 80mm one, but I wouldn't recommend it) in the front of the chassis.
Unsnap the front bezel (the plastic facia), slide the fan in between the harddrive cage and the front case bulkhead ( see the middle photo in the third row of pictures on this page http://www.ocia.net/reviews/nzxtalpha/page3.shtml ), align the screws- I would also look at getting a fan filter like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...96010&cm_re=fan_filter-_-11-996-010-_-Product and place this in front of the fan to stop the chassis ingesting whatever crap is floating around. Make sure you have the fan orientated correctly. For better securing I'd recommend using 3/16" x 1 1/4" bolts and fibre washers from a hardware store.
