I'm probably going to buy one of these in the next few days.
The case comes with two fans with one of them mounted on the side panel. What's the best configuration for the fans? The case will hold 4 (Side, Rear, and 2 front) I plan on using smart fans modded to run at full speed (about 50 cfm each) for the two fronts and the rear. If I set it up 3 intakes (2 front + side) and have the rear exhaust, I'll end up with about 120 cfm in and 50 out (not including the PSU fans). Is that too far out of balance? I'm partial to the side fan being an intake due to the Vid card being right there. It does have a nice huge HSF built onto it (Leadtek), so it's not essential that it draws in.
Thanks
