Proper air flow...

[leech]

I have a case that has two fans on the back (currently blowing air outwards) and a fan on the opposite side of the motherboard (also blowing outwards) and a fan on the top (blowing outwards) The front is sealed off, so no intake of air, but I do have a 120mm fan blowing onto my two 10k rpm drives. Now my question is, should I have the fan on the top of the case suck air into it, then have the two fans push it out? Also I have an Antec Truepower 550 PSU (I think it sucks air into it from the bottom, then blows the air out the back) Of course my CPU is right in the middle of them all.

Reverse the fan that's on the side panel to blow in, leave the top one blowing out since the hot air naturaly moves up.

Well my case has one on the front blowing in two on the side blowing in. The one at the back blowing out as do the top two. Keeps it nice and cool.

That's what Byock and I were thinking, that since Hot air rises, I should leave the one on the top blowing outwards. Sounds good, I'll let the one on the side suck the air in.
