Do most people add fans to the cabinet back?

Just finishing off the back of mine and currently it's all sealed off. Would adding vents be enough or do i really need active ventilation with a big fan?

Depends how paranoid you are, what the construction material is, how cramped the interior is etc etc.
We've never found the need, but add them if requested.

im planing on adding 2 120mm intakes on teh back door and another 120 exhaust on the top.
it wont hurt to have the extra ventilation.

Can't hurt. I don't have any in my DK and I've left it on for 8+ hours and it is still pretty cool in there.

My Track and Field cabinet has a vent at the top, so I attached a fan to it. I have recently stopped using the fan to make the cab quiet, and have not had any problems. Even if you don't add a fan, you do need to at least vent it.
