And Jaydee- because the CPU is by far the hottest component, it makes sense to give it the coldest air.
Its a design thats not compatable with current solutions much, but it is a pretty good design and will be great for reducing price/noise on cooling solutions.

No thats insane. You don't heat the rest of your computer up by adding hot air to it. The mobo, ram, NB, and whatever other parts on the mobo are NOT adding much heat to the air before it goes through the CPU cooler on ATX cases. With this new setup your taking heated air from the cooler and RAISING the temps of the parts on the rest of the system. Now your going to have to activly cool all the parts on the mobo being the air is going to be much warmer in the case now. With ATX the CPU is at the back of the computer with fans back there (well should be there) to remove the heat. The air is NOT heated before it gets to the CPU cooler, now the air will be heated before it gets to the mobo and parts. This will only cause stability issues with mobo parts getting hotter and hotter.
So your saying your hot running Vid card is going to run better now that the air that cooles it is heated up by the CPU cooler before it gets there? Put a air cooler on you CPU and duct the air comming off it to your vid card and see what happens.
