I'm in the process of building a new workstation/server and I'm trying to decide how the airflow should work and whether or not I need to put the cpu fans on these Cooler Master Hyper 212s.

First, the terrible photos courtesy of my phone.

The CPUs are Intel 2620s. Below the motherboard (not shown) are the two drive cages, and each have 120mm fans blowing over the drives (6 in total, 3 drives in each cage), back toward the motherboard-side of the case. Then, in two of the 5.25 bays will be a 4x2.5" backplane with SSDs installed. Those, I presume, will be blowing air back toward the rear of the case.

I'd prefer if I could leave off the fans from the coolers, but I don't see how that's going to be possible. I feel like I need the top fans as well as the rear fans to be exhaust, and both cpu fans installed on the heatsinks blowing toward the rear of the case. Even with that, I still feel like this case needs fan(s) on the bottom blowing air straight up, but I don't see any mounts for that.

I'm no expert, so I'm reaching out to you guys to hopefully point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance.
