Yup, I'm going to try to setup this first one to intake air from the front and do a test but the problem is you will push all that heat from the GPU's into the PSU, Board, Memory/CPU -- I'm not sure which is the lesser of the two evils.

The kit and its instructions however have the hot air coming out the front.

Just throwing my .02BTC into the conversation. Unless the fans on the cards can be reversed, you almost have to exhaust out the front of the case. Otherwise the intake from the front fans and the exhaust (Facing the front) from the GPUs will just create some interesting thermal eddy's and not really move sufficient air in the first place. If you're really concerned with air-flow at the rear, you could also add a few of the pci-slot exhaust fans, like these:

I'm not recommending that one specifically, just using as reference.

The case add-on looks great, if I was getting back into GPU mining, I'd pick this up in a heart beat.

There is an option that reverses the GPUs to point towards the back. It's not a standard option but I requested it for an additional cost.

Currently all my GPU's face the back, Good idea on the blower fan, I didn't even think of adding those in as its been years since I've used them. Don't know if they will get in the way of riser adapters or not but I'm going to look into this option.

Edit: From what I can tell, these blowers will interfere with the PCIE 1x-16x risers. Bummer.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but why would you want the graphics cards to face the motherboard? If everyone says it is best to have the case exhaust air from the side with the graphics cards on it, wouldn't we want the cards facing those fans that are exhausting hot air? By facing I mean the side with the video ports facing the front case fans.

Also, if you could clarify if this is for blower style or non that would maybe clear things up.

For a traditional cold / hot server rack environment, the cold air goes in the front and the hot air out the back. with the hot air going out the front you would have to install your chassis backwards on the hot side where it wouldn't get optimal cold air on the front side since its mounted at the back.

This kit as pictured, exhausts hot air out the front. I ordered my kit with extra parts allowing me to mount GPUs in reverse direction of the pictures where it would blow the hot air out the back as a test to see how it performs..
