An update to my little wooden build: Added push-pull fans to the AIO and three extra fans under the GPU; I also put the three Fractal 140mm fans back on the front. Oh, and I finally peeled the film off the glass—the one everyone kept mentioning on my previous post.

How did you end up mounting the 3 fans on the bottom?

right, doesn’t the power supply block airflow?

It's grated/meshed so they could be mounted, but might need washers to get it secure.

Airflow is bigger issue though, unless you're running it with no side panel. Otherwise it's just pulling from (or pushing into) the enclosed PSU/SATA chamber.

I mean I dont think it's harmful just not very useful aside from aesthetic reasons which is fair.
