in my next mod, im having my motherboard tray in a seperate box. I need it as slim as possible. How important is the fan on the back panel? my cpu is under water btw but my gpu still on air. If possible i want to cut it down so the very top of the box is right above the io panel.
 
if you dont have any other fans exhausting hot air, its pretty important. also, if you dont have fans on your sb/nb/chipset it helps remove the warm air from them (and your gpu).
you could maybe mod it to hold a smaller fan or put an exhaust in the side. that would pretty much solve the problem.
 
With a water cooled cpu you NEED airflow around the socket area. The airflow that normally comes form a heatsink is no longer there.
