is this a good airflow?

for what i understand in the picture, FRONT(1 in-fan) BOTTOm(2 in-fan "how did he put fan on the bottom of the case") TOP(2 out-fan) REAR(1 out-fan)

i want to mimic this airflow set up. is there any guide there how to install many fan on case.

and what case and fan should i buy in this set up?(i want to minimize the noise as possible) and where should i plug those fan cable? and i dont know yet what side of the fan comes in and out the air :(


thanks in advance., please give your idea and opinion.,

This should work really well. Considering most cases mount the HDD's in front, you will get direct airflow at your drives, which keeps them cool. A general rule of tumb is to have as many intakes as outtakes. This minimizes noise from the computer, as the intake doesent have to force more air in, because it's divided on two. A fan on the side panel gives good airflow for you GPU, that will again keep it cool. The PSU is generally not ment as a fan, and in this case it is really not. As you see, it's mounted as such, so the fan of the PSU is facing the floor, which keeps the airflow from the PSU out of the case.

A good case for choice would be the Cooler Master Elite 430, as it has a lot of fan mounts. Of course, if you don't like it, you could choose another case, but remember one with at least some fan mounts.

A way to get all the fans running, you could use molex to 3-pin adapters. They do come with most fans, and I would suggest Noctua or Corsair fans. They come with adapters, aswell as being very silent fans with good airflow. I hope this helped ;)
