Cable Routing
Hai all, for all you Antec 900 users out there, I haz had an idea and I was hoping if some of you more experienced in the field of cooling could give me an opinion.
I was thinking, usually the CD drive goes at the top, and the harddrive somwhere in the middle (Drive Bay 1&2). I was thinking, if the CD drive and the HDD went to Drive Bay 3, and moved the fan from Drive Bay 3 to Drive Bay 1, this would increase airflow to important components, rather than cooling the PSU which does not give off much heat anyway. This would make it MUCH easier to keep cables tidy and core components cold afaik. Waddyathink?
EDIT: Forgive me for using paint, photoshop is refusing to work ¬_¬

Good power supplies are around 80% efficient. Say your system components need 200W of power then at 80% your PSU takes in 250W. The extra 50W not delivered to your computer internals is wasted in heat. The air that comes out of my PSUs are usually the warmest as it is at the top of the case as well.
