That's funny because I've been running those orange STA cables since I got my case in 2009. Zero errors. Zero problems.

And how does the PSU not get enough air when the entire bottom of the case is vented for the PSU and 2x 120mm fans and lifted off the ground?

Like I said, I really don't care about other peoples opinions on my build. I just wanted to share as a fellow PC enthusiast. I didn't know I was gonna be put up on a stake to be burned like a witch.

Welcome to CHD.

I'm starting to see that.

Btw, what's the best way to power a shit load of fans? I had a few 4-pin to 3-pin adapters left over from my previous case but this case has more fans and I don't want to keep getting those adapters and cramming cables behind the motherboard. Or am I SOL and have to use those?

So THAT'S what it's called... I tried to Google everything I could think of but couldn't find any hits on how to power a ton of fans without having to use individual cables. Thank you very much.

If the case is vented under the PSU then the PSU fan should be on the bottom...period.

I've never seen a bottom mounted PSU case without a vent, so yes. Only top mounted PSUs should have the fan facing inside the case.

luckily manufactures have caught on. a few years back, and it wasn't as much of a set feature for the market.
