i am thinking about getting this case www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163161 and i was wondering since the only exhaust fan is at the top of the case right where the cpu cooler would be, would i be able to install a corsair H-50 because it says that you should have the fan blowing in through the radiator that would mean that there is no exhaust fans at all, or should i just stick with my coolermaster V8 and have it blowing out the only exhaust fan? any suggestions would be helpfull, maybe there is another way to add some exhaust fans, since i have only seen pictures of the case i am not sure exactly what i should do and i would like to know before i get the case.

    If you wanted to use the H-50 why not simply mount it on one of the bottom 180mm fans in a bastard/ghetto mod configuration.  That way the rad would get cool fresh air coming in from the bottom and you could still use the included H-50 fan for added push/pull performance.

    That's what I would do.  That would be a very unique configuration that not many others would have.

    I have that case with a eco cool it wich is the same type of lclc as a h50 and have my rad and fan on the top exhaust,  what you have to remember is all your pci slots are on top of the case so a majority of the heat will be going strait to the top out through your vga ducts, because the vga cards will be sucken in all the air the bottom left 2 fans blow in and the bottom right will be shooting air strait up to the the rad and fan. Its a cool case. shoot me a pm if you have any more questions about it. i can send you some pics of the inside of mine  so you can get a idea what itll look like.
