It has alot of locations for fans
2x 200mm on top
2x 120mm on side panel(near front hard drives)
1x 200m on side panel(near back same side)
1x 140mm in the front
1x 120mm in the back

Would this following setup make sense?

the two smaller side fans ( 2x 120mm) blowing intake on drives)
the large fan on same side panel ( 1x 2mm blowing exhaust from vid card area)
both fans on top(2x 200mm blowing intake down)
the front(1x 140mm) blowing intake
the back(1x 120mm) blowing exhaust


my cpu cooler is a huge zalman that blows down , which works with the cases 200mm top fan that came by default blowing down the same way the cpu fan is setup.


I considered having the 200mm on the side blow intake but would 1x 120mm in the back be enough exhaust if that was the case?

and would the 200mm intaking on the side create airflow battle with the vid cards fans? its an msi twin frozer III 680gtx 4gb


also if I had all fans blowing intake except the back 120exhaust and I removed the 2x 120mms by the drives would that be ok then because not as many intake?
