I have no case fans in my box. Only the PSU fan, CPU fan and the GPU fan. I used to have a fan blowing air out but I removed it, as don't think it's necessary. My CPU runs at around 30-40 degrees Celcius and I'm not worried about it overheating (it's an Intel chip afterall). I think case fans are only necessary if there's a lot of heat-generating devices in the computer, you overclock something or there's a lack of sufficient airflow (probably with very large/tall cases).
