I was really excited to see an Antec case show up at my doorstep for reviewing. I have been a big supporter of the Antec 300 since they released it way back in March 2008, and I was excited to see what they did with the second generation of the 600 series. The first generation introduced the hot-swappable SATA drive mounted in the front panel, and the gigantic 200 mm exhaust fan on the top. The second generation updated these features to keep current with the ever changing world of computers and the demands of modern gamers.
The main reason why I tend to like Antec cases is that the company's engineers really seem to understand the importance of providing a dust filtration system that is not only effective but also easy to clean. They definitely excelled with this in their 300 case, and I have built at least seven computers for friends and family that are based around that excellent platform. Let us see if they have continued their reputation with the Antec Gamer 600 V2!

As for moving air over a radiator they're actually not good for the push side, only the pull.
If the fan was in place to specifically direct air over a component in the case, or to cool a radiator or heat sink, it would be important what direction the air flowed, but as it is, the only purpose the exhaust serves is to remove air. Which direction it flows once it's outside of the case isn't important.
Thanks though for the link to the video, as I wasn't aware that silverstone had been working on that.
