Finally a useful article for fanboys...

Tom's Hardware has done a comprehensive article on case air cooling. it's fairly thorough, even though I didn't see my scheme among them.

The article is to have a part II soon. Part I can be had here.

Was an interesting read Red, thanks for sharing.

I ended up reading on the Bulldozer article they did while I was there as well.

Nice link

Its always bothered me having my psu upside down since i spent an hour searching for the end of a cable tie in my newly built machine, fearing it had fallen in to the psu vents..

Since theres only a small gap and no vents below, i guess im stuck with it

Good read...

The Perfect Chassis...

...doesn’t exist. However, large, well-designed towers like the Corsair Graphite 600T come very close. There is nothing to restrict airflow inside the structure. Space, rear cable management, and lots of fans and air filters combine to create a solution that approaches what we'd consider to be ideal.

I'll agree with that

Was more in agreement about "well-designed towers like the Corsair Graphite 600T come very close." since that's what I'm using just now. But also agree that there isn't quite a perfect case yet
