Thanks for all the replies guys this is some really good information and opinions
I hadn't thought of the flow issue! - I figured my D5 was as powerful as a beast!... but I am putting it up against some pretty heavy opposition, so I'm going to have to think about that a bit.
I guess this is why you put in a flow meter,.. so you can diagnose flow problems.. *grumble grumble*
My PSU is on order now, and I've asked for a saturday delivery so -hopefully- I will be doing the work to the machine this weekend.
I am planning to set my top rad to exhaust, I also had the idea of 'what if' I set the front most fan on my top rad to intake, and the middle and rear fan to exhaust? - This would give me 3 fans in, and 3 fans out... is it worth it? just an idea.
Tucci - do you have your very top front intake fan filtered?
This case only comes with a filter for the bottom 2 fans, and just plain plastic covers for the top fan (which is usually meant to be 2x5.25 bays) - how have you gone about filtering your top fan?
Thanks,
Draz.

I have the same case but only 1 gpu and no motherboard block.
1 x 360 rad top
1 x 280 rad front
3 X 140 intake front...
