hmmm 80mm 50cfm??? one word comes to mind.. HURRICANE. you might as well as leave the side off and put a table fan beside there.

I'm not sure what you're asking...

I can tell you that it's going to be loud though.

IMHO you've got one intake fan and 5 exhaust fans (including the PSU) which is a very imbalanced setup to say the least. You might try to get the intake and exhaust to be a bit more balanced and prevent the vacuum inside the case from pulling dirt and lint through your optical drives which is a pain in the neck.

how about this instead

better placement ?

Yeah, that's a bit closer to a balanced system, some guys prefer to have more exhaust than intake CFM (negative pressure) but I personally like to keep it as balanced as I can and if it's going to be a bit imbalanced I'll shoot for higher intake cfm (positive pressure) to help stop it from sucking dust, grit and lint in every nook and cranny in the case. It makes cleanup less of a hassle when it comes time to blow the case out, the dust will form in the areas in a direct line from a fan because as the airflow turns the heavier dust will lose momentum and fall or stick to a surface.
This is of course assuming you don't have 500cfm of airflow in the case. (gahhh)

ack that picture... disturbs me... looks like i wont be looking here anymore. But i have to say that a top exhaust fan works well. Hot air goes up, so why stop it =D
