| 631803 | 2008-01-22 09:12:00 | ........so the rear two 80mm fans willsuck in air through the grills instead of the front.......... thats not actually a good idea. if it pulls to much air from the sides then minimal air will go over the hardrives and they will cook. a bit of a crap design of a case. however with basically 3x rear 80mm fans (2x case, 1x psu) its going to have air flow to spare. having a fan in the front is not going to push air out through the side vents as the 3 rear fans suck out 3 times the amount of air the front fan is blowing in. if anything the front fan can become a restriction and cause a drop in airflow. the only other recommendation is cut out the fan grills and fit wire grills instead. it will flow a lot more air. |

| 631805 | 2008-01-22 21:20:00 | So should i have the two fans at the back sucking into the case or blowing out? blowing out. if they blew in all the air would just go straight out the PSU fan and you woul have no airflow around the rest of the pc. |
