The reason the fan in the drive bay works so well is because in the stock config these cases have way too many fans pulling air outta the case and not enough input....I'm gonna put a 140mm fan in 3 drive bays and I've turned the GPU side fan around so it blows into the case....And things are much cooler inside now.

The gpu side fan doesn't exactly exhaust a ton of air, so really it's maybe a 1.5:1 ratio of exhaust to intake, and considering pretty much every article I've ever read has stated that negative pressure is better than positive pressure I'm pretty amazed that you could see a "much cooler" result from reversing the flow of 1 fan. Not that I doubt your claim, it's just that airflow on this case stock is pretty poor to begin with, so I just can't imagine a drastic shift in cooling without adding more fans. If you overclock your videocard and have your gpu fan locked at high rpm, I could imagine that the turbulence it created with the side exhaust would negatively effect cooling, but as far as ambient temps I have a hard time believing it.

I installed a "little" window today. It is a 9x12 sheet but this case makes it look tiny. I got the kit for $9 shipped so I can't really complain (this case is all about a minimal budget). So far I'm at $47 + 8 (for cable management) + 9 for the window. Overall I'm happy with it being "done."

I just picked one up at my BestBuy for $50.99. This was haunting me all last night (i really wanted one, but i didn't know about what to pay with) So, when i was there, i took the plunge. An now i own one. I just gotta get stuff switched over now.

EDIT: Off topic, but the "Dark" Desire mod caused me to remember a horrid experience with a Delta fan in my dell. 120MM, and extremely undervloted from the mobo. Plug it into 12v from a molex, and BAM! you have a propeller. I even have a scar on the outside of my right had (the side that the pink is on) I also noticed the same when in my dad's dell, they had a Delta (92mm) and the strange thing was, it was blowing in I also decided to try 12v from a molex, and the thing went to like 4000rpm!! ( well, it was fast, and moved tons of air)
