So i have this intresting setup of fans planned, like the title says I'm considering putting 3 intake fans in front and only 1 exhaust in the back to achieve extremely positive pressure, the case im using has dust covers on all intakes and the fans are all 120mm. What do you guys think about this?

No dust xD

 

But honestly it should be fine

 Just open the side pannel after some hard gaming or run a stress test and make sure it doesn't thermal throttle too quickly

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

Yeah i was planning to test it pretty well before actually using the system, but why should i remove the side panel?
