all the cases i've ever seen have intakes on the front and blow air out the
back. my landrover case, for example, has a 120mm exhaust fan, my antec psu
blows out the back, and i have two hd coolers that pull air in the front.
another thing is the secondary cpu blows almost right on one of my drives.
this landrover case has fans on the left side (towards the front) for the
drives. i cut out the side of the case and now use them as exhaust fans, and
i flipped the 12cm main fan around to blow in, towards the cpus. that's
helped a lot.
however, i now wonder if i should have just flipped the cpu fans around.
probably would have saved a lot of time using the dremel. :/
am i the only one who doesn't like them blowing out the front? i'm just
curious. i would think it'd cause problems for me than just me.
