Yeah, I'm not happy with how that round window came out. If I had it to do over, I would have made it a bit smaller and repositioned it so you just see the plasma globe. I basically screwed up on that is the bottom line.
The case is a Lian-Li 1200B. Since that zone only has the hard drives generating heat (there is no air path to anything other than the HD's and the PS, which has it's own fans), the fan doesn't do a whole lot, and only turns on briefly if the hard drives get too hot, otherwise it's 99% idle.
The rear fan in the case has never turned on since there's no heat geration in the case to speak of and any small amount of heat is sucked out of the power supply and exhausted in the back. The radiator fans are pulling, so they handle pretty much any excess heat build up in the case and push it out the sides/back/front.
