Anyone considering using the Asus 670 Mini for their build, or is this just a bad idea due to it not having a true blower style cooler since it's partially open on the sides?
I like the idea of having a shorter GPU so that I can have a bottom-rear fan blowing into it, and then another bottom-front fan directing air towards the HDD cage. I'd prefer a mini 680 or 770 if they ever make one, but would probably settle for the 670 if the cooler design doesn't flood the case with hot air. Also thought about sealing up the 670 Mini's cooler, forcing all the air to exhaust out the PCI bracket, but I'm guessing that might not work as planned.
