    that looks more restrictive than anything, assuming he has Optical/Hard Drives in those top bays.

    it would be better if you just used the rear exhaust duct instead of the intake.

    I beg to differ - there appears to be a white fan @ the front for intake

    Good eye!
    Signatures make my posts look huge... but I'm not humble enough to completely remove my signature, so I kept this note explaining it.

    When did I say there wasn't? I was pointing out he has optical drives and hard drives blocking that fan and he is cutting off all other air that fan would take in the case by restricting the CPU cooler intake to that one fan. The exhaust makes sense, but not the intake.

    Also you can see the duct stops way before the fan, probably because of the drives... (see all those half circles, no duct)


    To make it more clear without the intake duct he still gets the air from the front intake, but he also gets air from the top, bottom and side of the fan. The exhaust duct is a good idea to keep from recirculating hot air after being blown through the CPU cooler.

    I see no HDDs or ODDs blocking anything.. I dont see either full stop.. I dont even see SATA or IDE cable(s)
