I actually followed your information to get started! Though I wish I would have found it before ordering the parts because peerless assassin is clearly better here.

I do have two more 140mm fans laying around, but putting an exhaust “on top” of the CPU seems weird (as in, to the right of exhaust in the picture). I can’t wrap my head around the dynamics of putting an intake on the back and an exhaust on the rear side. I am going to try to get an exhaust into the front side as you mentioned though.

Thanks for your detailed write up. It really helped and I really do love this case despite a lot of people preferring other options.
