Actually based on the principle that hot air rises naturally.Its a wonder why this approach has not been done before.

Air intake at the bottom?
Hot air might rise, but the floor is where all the dust gathers. I always try to keep my PCs off the floor and I'd be worried by a model that hoovered dust up into its innards.

dust shouldnt be a problem with filters in place
I like the concept. It would have been nice to have seen additional pictures of the other hard drive bays and how they are fitted. but I guess that is not possible because of the case construction. Washable Dust filters should be fitted after market if not installed by Yoyotech on intake fan(s). They are very cheap and save a lot of hassle.

Nice machine - just one reservation.
I'm just wondering how it'll look with a wireless card antenna sticking out the top.
True it's a good location for one but it's going to look a bit messy, I suspect.

70 quid difference
I just want to point out that 599 is a price without windows.....
So it makes well over 6 hundred with windows on it.
Please correct your spec

Value for Money? Fine Piece of Engineering?
£600 for a 'value' PC with no monitor, no OS? Can't get access to the SATA ports, PCI slot, RAM only with difficulty? PC Pro recommendations are beginning to lose all credibility.
