    I have recently built my second computer using this case and was and so far I have been happy with it. But, after only a couple of weeks I am finding that there is a noticable buildup of dust inside.
    I've read online about this, and there is some discussion that having a system with positive pressure airflow would be better (of course with good intake filters) so I am looking to setup the fans as such to create this and have so far come up with three possible ideas.

    1) Buy the Silverstone SST-CFP51B with Scythe GT 1850rpm and fit my SSD and 3 HDD in the bay. Remove the HDD cages and replace the Corsair 200mm fan with a Coolermaster Megaflow. Replace the 120mm rear exhaust with a Scythe GT 1150rpm or 1450rpm and removing the top 200mm fan and either sealing it or leaving it as is.

    2) Buy the Silverstone SST-CFP51B with Scythe GT 1850rpm and fit my SSD and 3 HDD in the bay. Remove the HDD cages and replace the Corsair 200mm fan with a Coolermaster Megaflow. Removing the rear 120mm and top 200mm fans, and using a three fan setup on my Noctua NH-D14 to also push air out the back and rely solely on the positive air pressure in the case to push the air out of all the vents and gaps.

    3. Buy the Silverstone SST-CFP51B with Scythe GT 1850rpm and fit my SSD and 3 HDD in the bay. Remove the HDD cages and replace the Corsair 200mm fan with a Coolermaster Megaflow. Remove the rear 120mm fan and install a 120/140mm fan at the top as exhaust and having my Noctua orientated to push/pull air to the top of the case.

    Any initial thoughts on the above three setups, which do you think would yeild the best results (in terms creating positive airflow) or would this all be just a waste of time and money? :worried:
