There is a the massive section towards the front of the case on both sides that is used for intake and the hard drive bays are separate from everything else also. The sheer size of the case too makes for one very finely cooled OC'ed PC which is the reason I went for this particular case. Nothing wrong with Lian Li cases at all, just this TJ09 fit my needs better than any of the Lian Li cases that were on offer at the same time and these are built equally as good. In short, there's absolutely no problem with cooling imo
I have a retail 64 bit DVD if you want a copy
