Photo 1: For this I'd have my PSU with the fan on the bottom, so the air doesnt touch that of the rest of the case, making that positive air pressure.

Photo 2: And well yeah, thats positive air pressure, though Id maybe swap one intake for an exhaust.

This shows the OPTIMAL air flow, so as close to this as you can get will be as good as your case allows. Airflow should not change directions if possible, directional changes will reduce the flow and increase hot spots inside the case (eddies in the channel)
The absolute best air path is cool in at the bottom and hot out the top with straight (laminar) air flow throughout the case.
Positive pressure will make sure that any possible air leaks will be pushing clean air our and not bringing in dust that is harmful to the components. After heat the worst enemy of a computer is dust. Vibration is also bad, so make sure the case is vibration dampened.


As for the desk being durable, get a sheet of tempered glass and have it beveled to lay over the top and it will protect the desk forever.

Yeah, I got a huge lesson.
Front and back is intake and two top is exhaust.
The cooler pulls air in from the back through. (cpu cooler has two fans on)
The psu pulls air in from the back intake and out the back.
What more can I do?

Airflow problem sorted...

Intake in front and from left (intake) to right (exhaust) on the cpu. The rear as an exhaust. the top is empty because the gpu is intake.

Next request: How do I add a window to my case and what materials to use.
I'm thinking about going to a professional.

My Idea:
cut out the piece that has the fan holes (inside) and making the piece fit in it and glue but that's a wide idea with no real planing so please help me out.

Thanks in advance:rock:
