Just a few questions for owners of this case.

Does the included 120mm rear fan exhaust outward, or is it an intake fan?

If it's an intake fan, would adding optional front fans create some kind of negative air flow?

Are the included washable filters just on the front? Or are there also filters on the included rear fan and top 140mm fan, and the side fan mount?

Thanks :)
 
The rear and top fan are both exhaust.

The filters are just on the front as you shouldnt need them on the back as the airflow is going out of the case so dust cant get in.

No side fan included so no filter there. Using an Akasa filter on a blue led fan for my side.
 
Nope. I do believe the back/top fans can be swapped and moved so it is possible to switch one to an intake but having both intake and exhaust in the top corner isnt ideal. I ordered 2 120mm basic fans for the front at the same time as I ordered the case which cost like £2.5 each so I could get it all set up to work with. The only other thing would be to take the rear fan and put it at the front so you have one intake and an exhaust (2 if you count the psu)

I removed both the stock fans as they are loud and a bit useless at moving air. I left the one on the back empty, and fitted 2 120mm intakes and a 140mm exaust in the roof.

All on fan controllers to quieten them downm and my temps are much better afterwards.

All Xigmatek White LED fans. :)
 
I have my rear as intake for the H50 with top as exaust, 2 x front as exaust aswell and side as intake. Seems to be a lot cooler that way round. Drawing cool air from rear as its situated near my window.
 
Remove the HDD bays all together and mount the HDDs in the optical bays and life gets better. :(
