It list "» Front Intake Blizzard Cooling"  Is that refered to as something for water cooling?  Also does the case have any fans beside the rear exaust fan? I can not tell from the gallery pictures.

I believe it is just to make it sound cooler for marketing purposes =x

The case only comes with the front intake fan and rear exhaust but you can add an additional four fans
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

If i went with that case and only one vide card with no OCing will i have to worry about heat issues?
 
Also where are the vents located on the front of the case to pull the air in?

The intake is under the front of the case, and it does drawn in air.

Environment and configuration choices will determine how adequate the cooling is. My advice would be to ask about additional fans if you are concerned about the heat. You're going to have a better idea of what conditions are going to be where you plan on placing the system than anyone else. If you think more cooling is in order, it probably is.
 
I'm not sure where they generally mount the extra fans, as when I look at my case I only see two fan mounts, and both of those are occupied by 120mm fans. Extra fans are only $10 each though, so not very expensive for a little extra airflow.

All I can tell you is that don't learn the hard way. ( As I am because I guess I have over stuffed mine and they are having a hard time keeping it cool!)  I am learning that heat is the major killer in these custom rigs.  If your are thinking about maxing out a system, then go with a bigger case.  The more you cram in that case the hotter it is and the less air flow you get.  I wish I had have now.
 
Spring for the couple hundred extra bucks and get a bigger case!
