Cooling question . . .

2nd guess the builder. 😉

Have a look at this photo of a system installed in a P180 case.

With no fan installed in the top blow hole, should the hole be closed off so as not interrupt the flow of air from the front vents across the MB and out the back? Also what do think about the open slots where add in cards would go? I know NOTHING about case cooling, but this just looks strange to me.
 
A blow-hole works as good passively as any other way - generally doesn't add much to cooling. I'm guessing the open slot plates are to allow some air to pass straight across the cards for cooling. Interesting that they have the cover plates cut out like that.

how do you fit a 120.3 or even a 120.2 system into a Mid-tower case. I currently have an Ultra Aluminus case. It isnt small but it isnt big either. I dont want to have anything external as that would just be to big of a hassel. Would it be possible to cut a whole in the bottom as that would allow heat to go down and out of the case or i guess i could have it bring air into the case. I think it would be kinda fun to cut a whole in my case. is that weird? Alost not that it matters that much but i am thinking about upgrading to a new G80 Graphics Card sometime this summer and as we all know those things arent that small.
