I'm not sure you'll need to have active intake fans, if you configure the rest of your fans (CPU & GPU) as exhausts then the intake will happen anyway, and having active intake fans just to promote intake will only add noise with minimal benefit i think.As for the HDDs, at least in my case, the bottom rear part of the NcaseM1 is the warmest part of the case, so I'd suggest to put them either on the HDD cage that bolts onto the side panel or on the bottom but at the front.Send me your details in a PM and I'll send it in the mail this weekend, just return it please when you're done
