Without spreader The Beast has been designed to run fully passively. The slots for the fans (x4) are available mostly to prevent overheat during the heat waves in Summer, for example. Of course, they can be used to increase the power of the processor and the graphic card. But The Beast remains a fanless case and we recommend to not install fans to completely enjoy the experience.

The use of fans, as with any other case, will allow dust to gather into your case, because of the blades that can suck dust in from the floor/desk. If you need to add a dust filter, since The Beast is made of steel, you can easily place one at the top of your case mounted with magnets.
