Do PC cases need front fans?

Generally, you want the case fans in front of the case drawing in air while the fans at the rear blow air out. If your case has vents at the top, they should be placed as exhaust fans because hot air will rise. Side-mounted fans should be used for intake, though they often don’t have air filters.

Can a normal PC case be used to build a Silent PC?

A normal PC case will not do; it can generate noise due to vibrations of its panels and because of the placement of various components inside it. But there are some silent cases that you can check out in the market to build a silent PC, whether it’s for business, pleasure, or any other needs.
