gigabyte 3d aurora?

I have this case, and I do see one problem with the design. The lower front fan is blocked by the Hard drive cage, the hard drive cage blocks most of the incoming air. you have 3 120mm fans sucking air out of the case, but theres nowhere for it to really get in unless you get the case with the grill side panel or mod the window version. I myself am thinking about placing the hard drives in the extra CDRom bays and removing the hard drive cage completly.
I have been looking for a drive cage that fits into the CDRom bays but cant find one I like yet one with a front 120mm Fan that holds 4 Hard Drives and has a built in bezel would be perfect, I know they exist as I see them in other cases, but getting one by itself is the problem.
 
so air flow isn't great, but is it adequate? cpu will be watercooled at least dunno what else will.
 
I have never had any heat issues, I just think it could be better. I would at least upgrade the front lower fan to a 2000rpm fan to increase intake air. However if you are watercooling the stock fans should be fine. I am useing the Stock fans for now and the Grill sidepanel and have never had any heat issues. I have both style of panels but never used the windowed panel yet so I am not sure how that effects airflow.
Also make sure to remove the front filter, it is very restrictive!
