Anyone else find it weird how Antec made it so you can't mount a fan in the lower HD bay area? Even though there would be enough room if they took out the metal bracket. It's also kind of odd they have a dust collecting mesh in that spot like there would be enough dust collection on them to warrant a mesh.

Uh you can put a fan there. In fact, I believe mine shipped with the fan attached via the black plastic tab thingy. Nonetheless, I have a fan there now.

The fan between the hard-drive bay and psu creates the same effect as if there was a fan in front of the case. And if anything, this works better b/c you can put a more powerful fan 120mmx38mm in the middle location ratger than a 120mmx25mm that would fit in the front.

I respectfully disagree..I get much better cooling modding a YL and front of the lower HDD bay...

not to mention a fan in the middle makes using some psu(Powerstream 520w for example) a major PITA
