I also wonder if the door on the front of the P180 will hurt airflow to the PA160 if mounted in the upper chamber. I know there are vents but SPCRs review demonstrated airflow restriction.

Seems to me that the PA160 could be installed in the lower chamber with the intake from below and the exhaust either into the upper chamber or out the sides. My inclination is to exhaust it into the upper chamber to minimize the number of fans needed and to further muffle the noise (and possibly cool harddrives just above) but that is subject to this groups opinion on how that impacts temps in the main chamber.
