    Antec 300 Intake/Exhaust Question

    Hey I have a question about the fans for this case. I have it so the top and the rear are exhausts while the front and side or intake. Would it be viable if i put the top and rear (maybe the side too) as intake and the front as exhaust?

    Yeah I'm on 1920 x 1020 and a 24" acer I'm not sure if this is the video cards problem but... theres a transparent green box that covers mostly the center of the screen in some movies I have on my computer. Its strange because this green transparent box never was there before on this GPU...

    Cool. I was looking at that or the Ultra Kaze. Thanks I have the front fans unoccupied but they say its to cool the hard drives. From the front of the case to lets says the video card is a looong distance away. I wonder if it can make any difference.
