think the only thing i'm not too sure about is the side fan, but i guess its giving air to the GPUs

any chance of a few more photos with the side on so we can see?
 
Been playing around resting up the cooling. At Idle it runs super cool(it spends alot of time idling with 6 cores) but an extra 560Ti ticking away in there turns it into a hot box.

Also had a scare with the USB BIOS flashback, Did what the instuctions said, and the machine did what it was supposed to do right up til the end. Instead of the light going off after flashing the BIOS it just locked on. The manuel said nothing about this! I tried to boot it it wouldn't boot, but it cleared the light, so I tried again, ans this time everything went fine.

For a moment in that last pic I was thinking "why does he have half a fan in a black case and the side panel does look rather huge."

Having a hard time making things ouit with this side window/fan.

Have you cut a hole in the windor for the fan?

How is the fan attached to the inside of the side panel/window? as I think I can see the holes where the screws would go into the fan and I can't see screws in there. (might just be the light reflecting though.

Personally i think it slightly ruins the looks of a nice clean build, but if you need the airflow then it's a valid addition.

Edit: Just had another look back through the log, and as far as I can see the side panel doesn't have an appature in it for the fan to draw air in through.
