NZXT Apollo Airflow

[RenaudB]

Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of modding my NZXT Apollo airflow and i need help and suggestion because i'm not sure i'm doing it right.

This is my stock setup right now.



NZXT Apollo stock



I was thinking of moving the hard drive in a Icage and replacing the front door plastic with a mesh grill. Adding a Antec super blower exhaust to help evacuating the hot air from de HR-03 cooler as well.


NZXT Apollo option 1


Since i read that to maintain a POSITIVE airflow i need to have more EXHAUSTS then INTAKES. So i was thinking of installing a 120 or 140 mm fans on the top.



NZXT Apollo option 2


Feel free to comments i need help with good advice.

You want positive pressure..

I would have all fans blow in and let PSU fan blow out and vents as well..

I might add a 140 to top blowing out..

If you have negtive pressure you will get a case full of dust as well as Floppy and DVD Drives will fill with dust...

last night i did the modification in the Option 2 picture, and just to specifie that the PSU only have a rear exhaust fan. So i might drill a hole is the top to put a 140 mm exhaust.
