again I find the airflow design.. disappointing.  Not sure if there is a similar array of fans at the other side, but either way, it looks like  just a copy/paste job while there was opportunity to make something much more efficient by orienting the boards differently and creating windtunnels.

That said, I still want one Smiley

Actually, the design does have a heat evacuation wind tunnel at each layer.  The upper section of each tray has an isolated heat channel that collects hot air as it's drawn up from the radiator fins where it's blown out in exhaust.

The enclosure performs well with Singles which are significantly hotter than Mini Rig processor cards.  However, in that implementation we recommend activating both the left and right side fans.

Here's an image showing the channel bottom with circular HSF cutouts.  The underside of the next level's tray stacks on top of this in order to create the channel cavity.  Left and right fans power the exhaust.  It runs ultra cool ultra even when filled with regular Singles.
