Haf X wheels or no wheels?

Silly question, I know, but does having the wheels on the Haf X help in any way with cooling? My PSU fan is facing down, and my case is currently on a desk with the wheels off, which I guess restricts the air movement a bit.

It will still be lifted off the desk enough with the normal feet it comes with.

Looking at mine,sitting on my desk,i can make out a gap of about 8 to 10 millimetres.

Ah, true that, I 've just looked at mine and it is indeed lifted that much. Well, is there a way of controlling my PSU fan, i think its running at full blast, 1400 RPM, and its quite loud.

The PSU fan should be automatically controlled.

You can't do anything yourself to change it.

Apart from crack open the PSU, disconnect the fan cable and run it out of the PSU to a fan controller... That can be fiddly and potentially lethal though!!

Im keeping my haf x on the table at the moment so no need for wheels yet but its a great option if going floor someday.

Actually so great Im wondering why wheels on a full atx pc case are so rarely seen..
