Lian-Li V1100B Window

I'm thinking about buying the lian-li v1100b case and want to know if the lian-li elite black panel with the two fans would fit if I put it upside down because otherwise all the air from the fans goes to the drive bays and no where else.

Heres the link to the case I'm talking about-

Heres the link for the Elite Side Panel-

I really like the case but the front case fan only blows onto the hard drives and I'm not sure if the air can go through that little duct. I also want to know if an enlight 420 watt psu would fit in there.

i'm not so sure that it would fit as it seems to only go on the PC65B model case.

Yuanji's right; the panel wouldn't fit. Lian-Li does sell windowed side panels for those cases, though (I think).

You can find the PC65B on newegg for $115.00 but it has 4 80mm fans (I think its 80). The fans are placed two in the front, one on the top and one on the back. Is the fan setup better than the PC-V1100B?

No, but it's certainly not worse. The 1100 will probably be quieter, and the PC-65B might or might not cool better.

I belive that is a good thing that the air flow goes over the drive bays, as they are on the bottom of the case and the air does flow from the bottom to the top as heat does rise to the top and exhoust out the top rear fan and the top case fan, its the perfect condition to have in my opinion.
