[QUOTE="solas989, post: 379401, member: 87399"] Yes it is a consideration...but not only for air flow, but noise as well. Intake will be fine,but noisy. The issue is that the exhaust area will get saturated with hot air from the HTPC and it could seep back into the case... I had a similar issue...so I used a SFF case, the Silverstone SG01. Not a full HTPC but it has a clean layout. HDD intake/exhaust is on the sides, but mb cooling is on the top. You can even get a crossflow fan to exhaust it out the back (I dont have one). If you could cut holes into the bench for the exhaust so it would not saturate the the case, then you would be fine. Using low rpm fans will also cut down on the intake noise. Take my advice with a grain of salt, and this has just been my experience. Solas [/QUOTE]
