Try putting a peice of paper big enough to cover your CPU fan completely - turn the system on a see what happends after a few mins - samething goes for the PSU if the fan was on the bottom and not the top
I'm surprised that Antec STILL does not offer tool-less installation on their gaming cases.
The HAF 912 is ugly. I hate cases that look all crazy with plastic all over the place like a machine from a Sci-Fi movie. The Three Hundred is simple and clean which is looks like this One Hundred case is with some improvements maybe. Also from all the tests I have seen about cases around the price range of the Three Hundred and HAF 912, the Three Hundred does a better job in the cooling department. I love my Three Hundred Illusion.
(intake) - 2x120mm at the front - 1x120mm side -
(exhaust) - 1x120mm at the back - 1x200mm at the top running at half speed

even my overclocked 5850 idles at 30'c and rarely goes over 50'c while gaming
Also this case looks a CM HAF, Antec need to stop copying and start innovating.
