More answers, because this is more fun than my actual work:Putting a vent pattern over that area was an aesthetic choice, all I can offer is that the pattern is much bigger than it needs to be to hopefully accommodate other fan positions on other PSUs.An intake fan would contribute mostly turbulence, and a 120mm definitely wouldn't fit anywhere except the top which as Darek explained I think is a problem for our core customer base. I promise I pushed for the largest fan we could reasonably fit Thanks! We're pretty pumped as well. Based on the things people have done with the MC600 I expect to see some slick mods to this chassis too. With this chassis straying into enthusiast territory there's the real potential for us to be able to be more responsive to community feature requests. We'll have to refine how to best parse through that sort of thing, but we can get down into 50 and 100 piece MOQ's on sheet metal parts so it's definitely feasible.With the boards/configs we've tested the PSU doesn't interfere. It's always going to come down to specific combinations, but I got in commercial parts for testing so its been taken into consideration. I think someone else already spoke to your noise concerns - personally I haven't found it to be overwhelming.
