Suggestions for a Q500

I got one in the mail.

It's going to hold my bp6 and 366@574. Right now with horrible cooling they are stable at 574 2.0v. They can do 605 and that's what I plan to run them at. What suggestions do you have to have the most air flow? I have 2 hard drives *both 7200* which I also currently have no air blowing on 🙁 I currently have a card cooler for my vid card so I'm good there.

 
If you don't mind making a blowhole in the side panel, that works great. A relatively-quiet 120mm Panaflo centered at the level of the video card can do double duty (try saying that fast five times) as your Card Cooler and also feed cool air to the CPUs. With about 70cfm of room-temperature air coming in the side, it dilutes the heat of the important items great.

If you don't want to make a blowhole, cut the metal out where the fans are, so they get good airflow, and put a fan in each available spot. The front one should be intake and the rear ones should be exhaust. Drilling the holes larger in the bezel or cutting the bottom edge of the bezel off will help with the intake.
