Anyone here have yet to mod a blowhoel into the top or side of a SX1030 Antec case? If so I need to speak with you!

I went to www.caseetc.com , I bought the panaflo 120mm blowhole kit - comes with all nec parts! pretty cool I think... I am trying to decide the BEST place to mount the fan...I thought to float mount into the door - lots of planning and have pci cards in the way... and wouldn't have good air flow straight up over cpu....I was think on the very top blowing air out - is that were you mounted? do I need to mod the case skeleton?

Yeah I gutted my rig today and was playing with measurements - the 120mm will fit perfectly on top - in front of the PSU and will not interfere with the CD-rom in the second to top slot....

I might also upgrade my PSU - I saw 350 Watt Antec that had both 80mm fan up front and a 92mm fan on top... and that would help draw the air up to the 120mm better...... and it was only like 50 bucks or something.
