I'll have to wait a while to get some small funds around to do just that. But at least I know my H60 is drawing heat as it should. I may just upgade to all Corsair SP and AF fans, considering they come with white rings (match my case).

Did removing your HDD cage help a lot with air flow?

Most definitely made improvement. When I put my hand inside I can feel cool fresh air is blowing across to my GPU. With the cage removed the duel front mounted 140s and bottom mounted 120 is unobstructed to blow delicious air to my MOBO , GPU AND PSU. The modular interior is one reason why I went with this case. I have set it up for positive pressure and all of my fans are filtered and filters are very very easy to remove and clean.

Note: if you get the Corsair SP or AF go with the performance ones. They come with an optional speed step down adapter that turns them into the exact fan as the Quiet Edition if you chose to do so. If you go with the quiet ones you are limited to about 1000 rpms which IMO , is not anything special, just eye candy at that point. The performance ones peek at 2350 rpm effectively twice as efficient all though audible at those speeds. My case has a three stage fan controller but I plan on getting the LCD touch screen fan controller by NZXT that fits into the 5 1/2" drive bay. With it I can set up a profile to run fans at different speeds interdependently or same speeds all together. It also displays RPMs and temp. I don't care how loud my fans are when I have my headset on and can't hear them anyways, so I plan to run them at full tilt when I game. Fans are durable and cheap to replace, GPUs , MOBOs and CPUs sting my wallet to replace. The NZXT one is pretty sweet and affordable. here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KJG ... _pC_nS_ttl

Sorry, I got a kick outta that ^_^

The mesh version, though very basic, would look great and stealthy. :)

The reviews on that NZXT fan speed controller look a bit subpar, especially about the quality.
