It looks to me like both those fans get cool air from the vent in the PSU chamber. Like this:

Not sure where the hot air from the hard drives is exhausted though.?

Also, did anyone catch what he said about the top fan mounts?
"It doesn't even come with fans there, it comes with a 3x 120mm radiator".

That case truly looks awesome, but do you think it will have enough air flow? It doesn't seem like it would to me, but maybe it would.

It said in the video that fan pushes air past the drives and to the area behind the motherboard tray and out a vent in the back.

edit- he also said it was designed for a radiator.

By the looks of it in the video, the cover directs it to pull air from the left, and there is a vent that goes through the hot-swap bay door area.

The case is awesome I want one. I really like how they did the cable management holes and the side fan on the hard drives.

That case is sick

Rumor has it...they are going to release a mid tower version before Christmas. That just might be my next computer case

If you skip ahead to the 8 minute mark he explains it a little but basically it sucks air from the PSU zone for cool fresh air.
