    Before i go on i must enlighten you about the fact that me and my friend both got the exact same casing and both had decided to mod it.

    Moving onwards, After i got this casing what i needed was a PLAN!

    On the Side :
    2 x 92MMs Over the CPU,NB,RAM
    2 x 92MMs Over the GPU.

    I decided to cut the side panels and install Arcylic Windows on both the Sides.

    For the other fans I decided

    1 x 80MM As Intake in the front, for the HD.
    1 x 120MM as Intake at the bottom.

    2 x 120MM at the top for Exhaust.
    2 x 80MM at the top rear for exhaust.
    1 x 60MM at the rear.
    1 x 92MM PCI Exhaust.
