Yep ,Best way intake from bottom, Hot air rise & out the front side & maybe rear back depending how big of Fan you Are:)
Nice 360 Dust Filter that comes out the side of case , much more easyer than a back one

I cant really fault it, not without being very picking

only negatives I can give, but again being very picking.
lack of 140mm fan support - but I suppose would then need to enlarge the case
cut outs have no rubber grommets - wasn't an issue for me
No reset switch - cant say I will miss it
top mount psu? - hasn't been an issue for me so far but people tend to point this out as psu will use warm air from inside the case

on the plus side
unique layout
good airflow
I find the gpu support bracket a good feature to have
plenty of space and was easy to work in.
good size, with tempered glass

No reset switch: Yep a lot of cases now do without them, Can use the Windows start button reset or on back or motherboard inside depending on board you have,
some cases let you reset by pressing the power button a certain way.

top mount PSU? : no issue at all with my PSU due to the Fan only spins Under heavy watt load anyhow, Hot air may be a issue if you use say a little SFX PSU the relies on PSU C temp from inside Unit/ case
Then would start up & spin...
example:
Silverstone Strider SFX 600W Fully Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply Relies on C Temp inside the PC CASE/PSU to start spinning, Hate them sort.

Silverstone SST-ST75F-PT 750W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply " Fan only spins At heavy Watt gaming load. Best Sort

mechanical drives for storage ,Best to have 5400RPM ones , Less spinning help longer life & also helps stop Noise/Humming , some them 7000+ RPM ones send vibration through the case.
 
Update: On IN-Win 101 ... The 2 X 2.5 " Metal Plates With Thumb Screws Behind the Motherboard Tray,
I only Recommend SSD's Mounted to them slots, I tried the 4tb Seagate 2.5" HDD 5400rpm &
Bad vibration/Humming Due it no rubber Sound damping, So i moved the 4tb in 1 of the 2 X the 3.5/2.5 " HDD/SSD Slideout
Trays at top, Also placed some rubber rings under the 4TB HDD when screwing it down to the Plastic Slide Tray,
And all is silent :)


Note: Can you just Imagine what a 7200RPM 2.5" HDD will sound Like Behind the
Motherboard Tray ...Drive one Crazy.

what size cpu coolers have people got in this case?

Thinking of shifting back to air from water, the spec says max is 160mm and the cooler im looking at is 159.4mm so should just fit but doesn't leave anything for margin of error.

I am now using "nzxt h500 mid-tower gaming case. white version
maximum cpu cooler height: 165 mm, can fit 120 or 140mm fans at top or front, quick rel tam glass panel, nice tall case feet for good air flow. take less room on bench

i got the Phanteks’ PH-TC14S CPU Cooler Good air cooler, that doesn't take up much room & 6 heat pipes, or another good cooler SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B 6 heat pipes.
If you go for an AIR Cooler look for 6 heat pipes.
