You can scab an additional fan into the back panel, but that's it. The front panel already has the 120mm intake in it.

Alternatively, you can drill holes in the case wherever you like to install fans....

No.
Reason: Proprietary motherboard(BTX form factor), headers and connections. I don't see anywhere on the board you could connect more fans to.

^Ah yes

Bust out the soldering iron for an inline splice!
