If I were you I'd move the fan between the HDD caddie and the PSU up to behind the optical drive, as its doing nothing down there really and up there would blow air across the zalman and then exhaust out the back case fan.

Nice setup you got going there. If I can remember right I think that bottom fan behind the PSU is actually fixed as part of the Antec P180 series cases.

There is a fan in the middle section bay also. But if i did as you mentioned above there would be no airflow from the bottom. the bottom fans keep the hdd's slightly cooler.
It eats crysis to death!

Wheres it blowing air from...the PSU onto the HDDs?! Or is it pulling air over the HDDs and onto the PSU? As fans do next to nothing pulling air (certainly not enough for you to notice much temp change on the HDD).
But saying that if their is a fan up there already then it may aswell be in the lower section, just make sure its blowing towards the PSU and not away from it though or you'll be blowing hot air over the HDDs.

like cosmo said, you want your fans sucking in cold air from the front and expelling it from the back of the case, a fan in the middle will do nothing apart from circulate hot air
