I've got a Raidmax Smilodon, 2 x 80mm intakes in left panel, 1 x 80mm right panel intake into 5.25" bays, 1 x 120mm front intake blowing over 3.5" bays (with 3 SATA HDs populating slots), 1 x 80mm high-speed, 60+ CFM exhaust fan at rear.

I may reverse the 80mm intake on the right panel to make it an exhaust and balance the pressure out a bit more, but given how cool it runs, I'm not concerned.

You DO realize you'd have condensation on the CPU if your CPU idle temp was cooler than ambient, right? :huh:

I've been running this setup for over two years now. No problem, and no condensation.
