Just cut out and installed the side panel window in my wavemaster case.
heres a pic.

I have a top 80mm blowing out and 2 80mm at the front pulling in air over the HD. Since I removed the back case fan I was worried there wasnt enough exhaust in the case. I have the left side fan on the window pulling air in and the right one as an exhaust. It has dropped the MB temps. It used to run a couple of degrees hotter than the water cooled CPU, but not it runs a couple degrees cooler. Does this seem like a good setup with one fan pushing and the one next to it pulling?

well, I think the two fans on the window going iin opposite direction would do nothing....one fan sucks air in, the other one sucks out right away..it's like a cyclone..just going around in circles..it doesnt travl anywhere..
 
agreed. a better balance would be the 2 side fans blowing in and the top and front exhausting. but then you would have warm air blowing over your hd, but then any air passing over them is good.
