from what i understand, if got more cfm for exhaust fans, the pressure inside the casing will be lower compared to outside the case.
hence will make the cooler air from outside will be much more easier to be draw into the case. coz from the physic theory is, cooler air much more intends to move from higher pressure to lower pressure..
yup, negative pressure is the best
but for me i don't want the cfm differences between the intake & exhaust fan differs a lot
for my casing:
- i will try to equal the cfm with the intake & exhaust fan
- if the case got two (2) or four (4) fan slot --> will make equal
- we will always get negative pressure --> remember one more fan, the psu fan
- so not much difference in cfm, intake & exhaust fan already equal (in quantity i presume)
- want that negative pressure --> got one more exhaust fan, psu fan that is
- plus the psu fan ain't that fast (or push high cfm), so not that big difference in cfm anyway
- thus less dust will accumulate in time compared to other ppl's casing with hella big difference in intake & exhaust cfm

aka negative pressure. which is what most cases are on anyway...
supposedly the best is to get equal pressure...but achieving that is very difficult.
negative pressure is also supposed to be better for cooling.
what i want to know is....is the heat from the PSU being dumped INTO the casing? if its...adoi. ur hsf will be sucking hot air from the PSU. and PSUs are hot!

yup, agree with u on this
hot air (from the psu) will be suck by the heatsink's fan to cool off the heatsink
btw, which is more hotter?
- Hot air from the PSU (like this project), or
- Hot air from the HDD Bay (like all chassis) --> the air that suck into the case which bypass the HDD bay
