It looks as though the P180 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129154) has 2 fans and an air vent right around the CPU/Video card. The layout of that case and cooling system looks extremely unique, and I was wondering what heatsink/fan layout/other things you guys would do to optimize the cooling potential of that case.
I don't know much about aerodynamics, but it seems as though a high powered CPU cooler would almost be wasted on this case, since there is already very high air circulation right around the CPU.
On another note, I was considering putting an XP-120 heatsink + 120mmx38mm fan on the CPU, but in that case it looks like that whole CPU area would just be absolutely CLUTTERED with fans (Anyone own/tried that setup? Do any of the fans get blocked/obstructed?). What about taking the fan off of the back of the case and setting up a zalman to blow air right out that exhaust?
It just seems to me it would be very easy to get amazing air circulation with this case, and I would like some input on what you guys would do. Thanks for reading!!
