Hey people,
I'm building new PCs and I have to get a new case for the living room. My 2004 Alienware Area 51 tower was never made to cool todays hardware.
That PC sits under a custom desk and during heavy gaming you get air fried. So, I'm planning on setting up the new case to pull in air from the back and sides and exhaust it out the front.
I going to use a Cooler Master N400 NSE-400-KKN2. It has 8x120mm fan locations. I'm going to seal the top up. That leaves 1 in the back, 1 in the left side, and 2 in the right side pulling in and 2 in the front blowing out. (The lower right side will have have the 120mm radiator inside of it.)
The entire front of the case is mesh so the excess pressure will vent out above the 2 front fans.
I'll let you know how it works out.
