Okay, here's my explanation. I will be cutting 2 primary cable management holes at the bottom area of the case, and using some old 'Welcome Home' rubber mats I will make some grommets like the ones in the Corsair Obsidian 800D.
I will replace the HDD caddies that come originally with the HDD bay I cut out from the CM Storm Scout.
As you can see there is a large slab of grey, that is the new Wind tunnel I am creating which will supply air mainly for the graphics card. It will be made out of Aluminium, a 90degree cardboard back support and screws onto the PCI backplates.
The green shapes represent the fans, the 2 at the top represent the 2 120mm fans and at the bottom there will be another 120mm blowing upwards. The 2 green round rectangles in that grey rectangle and the one to the right of them are 80mm fans, that will supply air for the Wind Tunnel and move air through the HDDs and out the front.
My airflow will be a little strange for this mod, the air will be flowing IN from the back, side and bottom, and out through the top and front, a little weird isn't it?
AIRFLOW: INTAKE
AIRFLOW: EXHAUST
Explaining the above, the air is moving up from the PSU fan, bottom mounted fan, through the back 120mm fan and into the dual 80mm fans in the Wind Tunnel.
The air is then propelled out above by the dual 120mm fans at the top, you can see some of the air escapes from the windtunnel, this is because a rectangular grille will be made right under the RAM slots, so then the top fans can draw the air through the RAM sticks and cool it down. The dual front 80mm fans will then bring the GPU air through the Harddrives and out the front.
So this is what I have so far.
I can get a 6 Pack of nice Coolermaster 80mm fans for just $19 over at PCCG:
A fantastic deal, especially for modding =)
But that's it for now, I will update later.
