Honestly? Air flow is hugely overrated.

So TL;DR, you dont really need the kind of airflow many are recommending to have a healthy running system. Two to three intake+exhaust MAX will be very effective in ensuring that already, no matter what case. Though I only use decent fans like AVC and Scythe S-Flex SFF21G, none of those coolermaster or random LED fan junks.

Positive airflow to the max mah... The best.

Agreed. Even a certain guy who I know closely was once caught up in the airflow debate: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/hardware-clinic-2/nzxt-phantom-410-optimal-airflow-3994105.html. Honestly, a casing will only become an oven if you use the Vios $20 casing with like a 7990 with a CPU heatsink on load.

Theoretically, the more positive, the more your heat pockets so :s22::s22::s22:

I have 4x 600rpm Antec Truequiet intakes + 1x 500~1200rpm Noctua NF-F12 exhaust, and it's more than enough to maintain 24/7 positive pressure to keep all the dust out. The 540 regardless is a nice case, albeit taking up huge real estate and making visitors think "what an unintelligent man to spend money on something that looks like a minibar and is non-refrigerating"
