First of all, congrats to the builder on the finished project.

However, after reading through the entire thread no one seemed to make note that the builder really should have put a opening in the back of the case for the PSU to breathe. Especially since the HDDs are in the back as well.
 
theres two exhaust fans right above the hard drives, and the psu isnt right up against the plastic so its just acting as another exhaust fan it seems.
 
wagex has got it.

The big 200mm fan up top spans both compartments, so really cools the hard drives.

The intake fan of the power supply is definitely close the back wall (1/2"), so I considered including carving out an intake on the back wall, but never ran into any problems after extensive testing, so kudos to Corsair.
