I am happy that you like it. So to answer your questions:1) You are absolutely right. The ODD is mounted there and in the current design it would look completely stupid to mount the odd when tempered glass front is used.2) I already tested different configurations in my Lian Li case i posted above. In general a 90 degrees turned CPU cooler leads to slightly cooler gpu temps and slightly higher cpu temps. In the Vertical (similar to my Lian Li) 90 degrees turned is far better because if it blows to the top there is not enough space on the right panel to mount fans if you use a big air cooler. Slim fans in the best scenario.If you use the top fan as intake the temps go up. I already tried it and in my lian li.Here is a very detailed test from a german website for different fan configs if you are interested:http://www.hardwaremax.net/guides/hardware/305-der-perfekte-airflow?showall=&start=2But thanks for your suggestion. I think a lot about airflow and suggestions are always welcome. Currently I am experimenting with a solution to cool VRMs more effective in revision three. Far from ready (only concept, vents are missing), but here is a picture:
