    hey guys, I have two fans blowing out from the back of my case, two fans in the front blowing in (not much room to suck air from though) which way should my side fan blow? in or out? all the fans are 80mm ones. THanks.

    I would actually suggest setting all the fans outward, as this will keep out dust. And increase the wind speed inside the case.

    you want air circulation so air goes thu front & side & out the back as there is actually 3 fans in the back. his 2 case fans & his psu fan. you are going to get dust in the case no matter what you do as it is not air tight. also having all fans blowing out the air causes problems for the fans on the motherboard, cpu, hd & videocard as you cause a negative pressure
