I have a Mars MCX case i thought i would give it a try as it was cheap in price. I am not familiar with how the fans are located on this type of case, I did find a video on utube that looks the same case or nearly the same, the case i have looks slightly bigger . I am interested in what people would do with there fan placement on this type of case regarding intake and exhaust? My setup is the same as in the video with the GPU and i am using a CPU fan cooler .

I would have rear exhaust, bottom and side as intake as the roof of the case is vented so there's plenty of room for air to escape.

Presuming you have the same amount of fans

First I would probably
Put some feet or wheels on it
Looks like terrible ground clearance

Could do as mickyflinn said
Or rear intake
Bottom intake
Side exhaust
Though rear intake I would flip the cooler fans

To be honest it's pretty easy to test different configuration
Since only 5 fans in 3 positions
Assuming each group of 2 will always be the same
So Not that many possible variations from 3

Always wondered why no one
Seems to make some sort of "smoke bomb" idea
To test pc air flow in different configurations though

Keep the top exhaust fans and use an ice giant on the CPU. Blower HSF for the GPU. Swap the rest of the fans for dust filters.
