Where should I place the HDD and SSD, especially HDD?
Near GPU or near CPU ???

Am I doing the right thing by choosing TWO 120mm spectre pro instead of 230mm spectre pro for intake at the bottom ?
Help me get optimum cooling out of this.
Thanks.

I am wondering about the air-cooling on mATX.
Soon I will have the same problem.

Intel Core i7-4770K
ASUS Maximus VI Gene (C2)
Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8 16GB DDR3

Enermax Platimax 600 Watt ATX 2.3
BitFenix Prodigy M
Included are 2x12oo mm case fans.

x2 120mm Scythe Slip Stream SY1225SL12L
x1 230mm BitFenix Spectre 230mm
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I might try:
bottom OUT from PSU
bottom IN from x1 230
back OUT from x1 120
back OUT from x1 140
top OUT/IN from x2 120
---------------------------------------
CPU cooler oriented towards back
PSU intake from inside

Still investigating...

It's confirmed that PSU can intake fromthe front mesh, externally and it exhausts bottom,
and as the psu exhaust is bottom its better to exhaust everything at bottom, hence bottom 230mm/(2x 120mm) exhaust.
cpu cooler acting as back intake and enough fans on top as intake to push down air down, out of case.

I am more confused than amazed about "M" airflow solution.
Everything needs "pushing", and that means lots of fans and lots of noise. I am getting second thoughts.

Also I stumbled upon this. And, I might wait for a month to become available.

Looks awesome, you could even have a look at the HAF 915, pretty long and thin, very easy to put away somewhere
