  • 120mm rear intake
  • 120mm top-back exhaust
I could move the exhaust to the top-front if need be; the Recon will be mounted there but apart from a few cables it shouldn't get in the way I think.
The red box is where I envision the C12P to sit, as a rough guess.

consider 2 roof exhaust.. the single is cancled by the rear intake. leaving massive 230 air intake. the
second 120 roof will allow a slight positive, not a heaving positive pressure. what'll happen is the
excess will veno through the GPU side-panel side. thus cutting the CPU coolers "supply" from the
front 230 fan. 230 will cool the GPU and dump in case and pressed out the side-panel.

just some thoughts..

What about the previous post regarding the hot air rising from the PSU? Does that change your opinion at all?

So now we're talking about:
  • 1 front intake (230mm)
  • 1 rear intake (120mm)
  • 2 top exhaust (120mm)

What about the possibility of (and I'm just thinking aloud here):
  • 1 front intake (230mm)
  • 1 top-front intake (120mm)
  • 1 top-back exhaust (120mm)
  • 1 rear exhaust (120mm)
That way you're intaking from the top front to hopefully combine with the intake from the 230mm. Then everything is exhausted at the top back corner of the case. You're still hopefully keeping that pressure taking the GPU side-panel into consideration. Does it work, or am I mistaken?

The top front fan is blocked by the 5.25" drive bay.
It's seems useless for a intake fan.

Also I didn't figured if you could have both the front top fan and the drive bay or must to remove the drive bay.

I think the main reason for the front top fan placament is for a 240mm radiator like the H100.
You must remove the drive bay for the H100.
