Corsair Carbide Air 540 Questions

[notneps]

I've been thinking about this case for my next build, and I have a few questions.

1. It has two chambers, and one of them hardly gets any airflow. All but two of the drive bays are right above the PSU. Is it safe to mount 2.5" mechanical drives in a chamber with practically no airflow?

2. Does anyone who has purchased the black version of this case know just exactly what fans it comes with? Corsair website says it comes with AF140L fans, but it doesn't say what color.

3. Can you install 5.25" stuff in either orientation? I have a fan controller I want to use, it has sliders that go up-to-down (obviously), but if top becomes left (what I usually see in vertically mounted 5.25" bays), at max speed the sliders will be pushed to the leftmost, and at lowest speed the slider will be pushed to the rightmost. Can I just flip it and install it in the orientation I want?

1. You have the option of mounting a fan in the drive bay chamber, but you would have to buy your own fans because they do not include enough fans to fill all the slots. The case door has air holes for the PSU to exhaust it's hot air out of the case, so I wouldn't worry too much about temperatures in the HDD compartment, especially if you get a 120mm fan as intake in that chamber.

2. The included fans are gray.
