First post! I just got a Corsair Obsidian 350D uATX case for a SCREAMING deal through TigerDirect and my Bank of America deals here:

The only thing that I have heard "bad" about this case is that the front intake fans APPEAR to be choked a bit by the front panel that is oh-so-super-clean looking. I have no actual data to support this, but it certainly did get my mind churning on the best way to set up the intake/exhaust fans to "flow" in the best, positive pressure setup.
The other gripe that I have heard with this unit is that the H80i coolant tubes are like 1" too short to route the radiator to the front of the case, leaving either a top-mounted option or mounting to the rear. I have seen pictures where mounting the uber-thick radiator + 2 fan thicknesses takes up a LOT of the surface area of the MoBo and just kinda looks "clunky" on the back.
I liked the sound of the Cougar fans in the bundle that I bought because they appear to have pretty darn good flow for the RPM (62ish @1200rpm) and they have pretty lights :laughing:
Would i be silly to set up my fans in the manner that is attached to this thread? Mounting the H80i to the rear of the case in a push-pull manner with the standard H80i as the push, a red Cougar fan as the pull (partly for the lighting ability only), running 2 of the Cougar fans in Pull out of the top and the standard Corsair fans as intake from the front?
Are there any other suggested H80i mounting setups for this case? I was trying to figure out how to set up a decent top-down cooling setup, but that just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Now, the only reason I purchased the H80i was for the previoius case that I was using showed that it fit really well in a front, low, factory location but the cable management of the case leaves a lot to be desired.
Any thoughts, comments, experience or whatever is greatly appreciated!!
