nice. couple of things.. try to turn the cpu cooler, make it go upwards. both top fans should be exaust. the back fan you can have it blowing air in towards cpu area.
and the psu taking cold air from beneath....also if something like a screw falls in youre screwed anyway lol...and i think my 850 watter is a bit less tall so maybe just maybe i could snatch a dual slot on the bottom? :)

thanks maite...im thinking to go with charlies 4 slot mobo.

I cannot turn the fan. There is a naked mobo on the tier directly above the case. I have removed the Fan that exhaust's upwards. Anyway, CPU temps are never a problem for me with the open cases.

The problem with turning the CPU heatsink fan in a folding box is that you end up just blowing hot air from the GPUs through the heatsink - and that is a bad thing. I've tried both configurations in one of my boxes, and with the fan blowing sideways, the temps were a good 7-8 degrees lower than blowing up - and that's a bloody huge difference!

yup, but since the gpus are the main coarse, a few mhz less on cpu wouldnt make that much of a difference, woudlnt it? :)

No, very little IF ANY real difference.
