    For the two bottom intake fans, how high does the case have to be off the floor so as not to impede airflow, or at least not too much?

    ok so all of this makes great sense and has been the standard for sometime.

    This is a little on a different line.

    Heres a sketchup export image from several months ago so you can see what im thinking

    The Optical drive will be at 90degrees of course. The sketchup image wasnt exactly upright at the time i exported this.

    I have gone much further in design than this. but it is the most basic

    I don't get what I see. Is that an overhead view? What's the cases likely shape?

    I consider my next build pretty revolutionary

    I'd say about 2-4 inches, and put filters on the fans so they don't clean the carpet into the case =D

    I would guess that the Sketch Up image by Haxx is a side view.

    Would you happen to have a guess on how much airflow I get with a fan with a filter that is 2-4 inches off the carpet? Ex.= like 75% for filtered fan 2 inches off the ground and 80% for 3 inches. I know this is somthing not easy to calculate but a rough estimate is good enough.

    you could stand to have the gap down around an inch. we're talking about air here. its not thick... it flows nicely through small places. you probably wont lose any "efficiency" all the way to about 3/4".

    if we were dealing with water... THEN you want a nice space around fans or impellers to suck stuff up.

    Default silenced got the view

    Yes silenced_coyote it is a side view as if looking at the window side of any standard with a window in it.

    this is an image of the right side as in NOT the side with a window in most cases.

    before you place judgement plz remember that this is the work i did months ago it has evolved greatly since.
    I have found a better air mover than this designs intended 24" square window fan.

    EDIT above plz see the pic below on my next post.EDIT

    I don't have a clue where the hardware goes, but that looks pretty freakin' sweet.

    Oompah loompahs don't like being called animals. And the answer to your question is 300. Thank god we pay them in chocolate, or the insurance would be murder.
