which case would provide better cooling

mid tower with no fan in back 16.2h 7.9w 17.6d

micro atx with 80 fan in back 14.0h 7.1w 14.7d

asus a7n266vm
2000+
maxtor 40
maxtor 60
1 cdr
1 floppy
250w psu

Neither sounds very good but the mATX sounds better since it has the fan.
Then again, you may need examine the front bezel air intake and
obstruction of fan, power supply, to determine if air is flowing
adequately and past the HDD bay to cool the drives.

Get mid tower, add fan(s), and the 250W PSU doesn't even meet minimum
300W. These days a 550W is cheap.

Any PSU actually worth 250W is sufficient for that (all integrated, 5V
rail powering CPU) motherboard.

Only an idiot would buy a cheap 550W PSU.

You want something with a 120mm rear fan with large grill openings.
Same large grill thing front, low.

80mm case fans basically don't cut it. Low CFM and high noise.

And only a moron would suggest that the 250W is sufficient when AMD
recommends a 300W minimum. And you can take your opinions and shove them
up your ass where they belong.

Get a 80 MM or 120mm hole saw and start cutting

I put a 1200mm hole in front and side, well 80mm at side soon to be
120mm.

Going to add a top 120mm as well.

I also cut the grills out of the two rear 80mm fan holes

I can use my pc for Wind TUnnel Testing :0

If you need some tips of cooling just ask, Zalman 7000a cpu cooler
rocks

See ya.

Not necessary for above parts. I have above board with highly o'c CPU in
it, still runs fine with 1 80mm inake for HDD bay cooling, one rear 80mm
exhaust, and single-fan PSU.

For a larger system, 120mm fan would be good, but if user wants a small
case and all-integrated motherboard, it sorta defeats the whole point to
buy a case large enough that it accepts 120mm fans.
