H3y ppl!!!

I need help!
I'm about to make my first mod, I got the Antec SX-1240, groovy case!!
I need help planing the cooling and airflow of this rig!

this is my plan so far: http://www.geocities.com/bi0d0me2002/

This 92mm with the gril on the side is going to be on a window.
Are there any other suggestion than what I planned? will my airflow be good?
The red means outakes , green intakes.

I would probably simplify it a bit and just have one panaflo in the lower front and one exhausting out the top. But that's just me. What kind of cooling are you planning? air or water?

not airflow related (as long as you have low front --> high back you're OK) but you might consider an Antec 400W PSU... Enermax PSUs ahve a problem with the 5V rail going way under 5V, and that certainly doesnt help for overclocking if you can spare the extra 30W.

Kev: or course i'm planing on air-cooling, why else would I stuck so many fanz in!? :)
You know how much noiZe this rig gonna make??

When I understand more about water-cooling and peltiers maybe i'll try for a quite rig on my next attempt. Maybe I'll even make my own kit since my dad is planing on gettin a CNC Mill..

I think that's way overkill. I have 1 120mm Low Panaflo blowing on my SK-6. 2 80mm fans drawing air in the bottom of my case, and one 80mm blow hole. I took off the back 80mm because it was actually obstrucing air flow. My temps are 41idle/46load for a 1.4Ghz tbird OCed to 1.6.

I like it all, but I think that fan on the side of your case should be repositioned, over the graphics card, vrm's, northbridge maybe?

watercooling would be much easier and far better
