That should make a difference for all temps. 3 intakes, and 3 exhausts, it should be chilly in there.

It looks better than the old case did, no one needs hdd cages anymore :)

Is that a Corsair case as I think I just helped someone else with same one. I thought I was seeing double.

I went from this

(Left is front, mb is rotated 90 degrees so everything that is normally at back of case is at top)
to this

and although new case looks better, the top one has better cooling ability. Its just old and had features I don't need... like 5 cd drive cages. I still have it in my room.

Hard to compete against 3 x 180mm fans
Glass isn't as good for keeping it quiet...

Those hard drive bay on the old case is really convenient . Btw, the new case looks good too.
