I have the same case and PSU as you are considering. ( and the P4P800 with
P4 -2.8 )
The case comes with leads/cables to connect front usb and firewire to mobo +
2 fans at rear. Your smartblue PSU will also have 2 fans. The case has
provision for a fan at the clear window on the side, so be sure to get a fan
for there as well or you'll be sucking in dust etc through that vent/grill.
You could also get another fan for the front panel to cool your drives if
you like.
So after all this air movement through your case, you might not want to
bother with a fan for the northbridge controller heatsink. Some of the sites
I've looked at have overclocked this board without an extra fan to this
heatsink, one site even put a fan on the heatsink and found no improvement
in performance.

So many things to consider ;-)
