Yes, 80mm. Get one more 80mm for the HDD bay, but not the lower intake.
That thing is to cover the screws for the add-in cards since they are on the outside to save interior space, it also holds the bag of screws/stand offs when it's shipped.
For the OC stability thing, it's true, an OCed system can be more stable than a stock, run of the mill system. Here's all I meant:
Take a Dell or HP or any other and check it out. The temps on most are going to be higher at idle than an OCed system that I would build would be under a full load. Spork has a Dell at work that's PSU runs at around 60c. My processor in my main comp hits 45C TOPS under a full load in warm weather and it's OCed over 900MHz.
My point was that if you build a quality system meant for OCing, you will not have issues with cheesy hardware, poor cooling, etc that would cause instability.
Now if you built two identical systems and didn't OC one, sure, it'd be more stable than the other, but only at extreme ambient temps that they normally wouldn't see.
