True, hot air rises......in a static environment.

Once you start moving 35cfm or more through a case, I can pretty much make the case hot in any particular spot you'd like with proper fan placement.

Take the Coolermaster 590 case. Use its two top fans as intakes and an exhaust in the rear. Bet hot air doesn't rise then.

My particular case, a Lian-Li, has a triple radiator in its top with all three fans pulling outside to inside. My exhausts are toward the rear and bottom and I assure you the hottest air is at the case's bottom, not the top.
