Give your suggestions for further improvement.

Well
The arrangement of the fans at the bottom is useless according to me because if your keeping the cabinet close,then no use and if your are keeping the cabinet open then no use of keeping the 4 fans.
I suggest that you should install the 4 fans on the side board instead of the bottom

As an ex student of thermodynamics and heat transfer, I surely do not approve of your arrangement.

The fans at the bottom of the case will cause (unnecessary and bad) turbulence. You need to create strong suction at the front bottom (fan blowing inwards, One 12v fan, with dust filter) and good exhaust at the back (blowing outward, one 12v behind the CPU and one 5v - connect red and black - above the PSU).

This arrangement will create positive flow in your box, and take care of most heat problems provided your tag your wires neatly.

I thought u said 'how is my Ventilation'

But this aint ur ventilation this is ur CPU's ventilation

neways the fans attached at the bottom are pretty useless. they will just create more heat. So u can undoubtedly remove them!!!

yes as suggested by Keith its a good idea to keep a fan at the front of the cAbinet (witha dust filter) and a fan at the back of ur cabinet.

The front fan will suck in fresh air and the back cabinet fan will pull out hot air from ur system. Too many fans will only disrupt the flow of air inside ur system and may coz it to over heat.So a better practice would be not to keep too many fans but to keep adequate number of fans preferably 2 (one in front and the other at the back) to help in normal flow of air in-and-out of ur Cabinet.

IF u plan to keep ur CABI (cabinet) open (wich i always do while working ) then there is no use of extra fans.

Cheers n e-peace...

Thank you guys.....

Will change the setup pretty soon and will try some new ideas....

Regarding the cooling effectiveness of this system, when i switch off this fans the temperature inside the cabinet increases by 8 degrees and if i switch on then vice versa......

so i thought that this system was performing well....
