I recently moved cases from a Lian-Li V-1000 to a Corsair Obsidian 500D. There were a few reviews that had stated it had bad airflow dynamics but I think it's actually pretty decent and the noise floor is quite low.
I have a 120mm Corsair ML-120pro on the back, two ML-140s on the top, and two ML-140s on the front. The HSF is a Coolermaster 212 EVO. I flipped the upper front fan around after I took this pic, so the arrows are correct. I'm wondering if using three 120s in the front with the two upper flowing out and the bottom flowing in would be better... the gap is bugging me
The bottom fan brings cool air in for the video card which should be exhausting most of the hot air into the current warm air path in the upper half of the case (it's not a blower style cooler).
