--- SHare I can assure you that plenty of hot air is escaping through the front fan. I sometimes use it to warm my cold feets. I don't think any air is escaping through the upper front, since air pressure in the case is negative. But you are right, there is not much airflow in that corner. However,...

Very nice, I may have to sell my 8600gt and make the jump to this after christmas.

I bet it'll be cooler if you reverse the fans. Heat rises so there is little chance that exhaust fan is doing all that much exhausting, most likely is that you are cooking you dvd drive and the heat is just escaping through the upper front of the chassis. I could be wrong though.

I was actually waiting til the new Noctua NP12's get reviewed. They look promising, come with 2 adapters to lower the speed to 2 levels and seemingly push more air at similar noise levels.

I just got a 450vx and its a cracking supply. I can now only hear air and slight reverberation in my p182. I reckon with a bit of damping and more careful fan placement my system will be practically silent.
