I've just got the same case myself but using a msi z77 board instead, ive mounted my 620 infront of the hdd cage and used the small side case fan inside the hdd cage to boost the air from the front 120mm fan, works ok but temps are not brilliant, im going to remove the hdd cage at the weekend and mount my hdd on the floor directly I think, great case for the price and for what I paid for it I dont mind modding the hell out of it

nice build i turned the side fan from in take to out take and my temp have drop by 3 degrees but for the price it's not a bad case

grrrr I cant find the charger for my cordless drill and its flat, doh!!!

I was toying with the idea of push pull the same as you have done, any idea if a 3.5" hdd would still fit on the floor between the fan and mobo?

 

[welshdapper]

if you use push only you should get away with fitting the hdd in the bottom
