The 3 Fans In the back (2 x 80mm, 1 x 92mm) are all pushing out.

IF I install the ones in the front---they will be bringing air in.

Right now I have cut out the built in fan guards and Have installed a filter that we use at work to help prevent dust accumulation---whether I use the front fans or not. Its a disposable filter material that allows good air flow, but maybe fans in those front spots will help get the air through it better.

Not really concerned about noise. I have an A/C unit, an Air Filter and 2 PCs with open cases with 13" desk-fans blasting air into them---this room sounds like an airport!
BUT! That said I am checking out this koolance case/WC system and may switch my other pc over if all goes well. And I am using the Tornados hoping I can move more air at less RPMs for an overall quieter effect---we'll see.................

I guess my question concerns: will the thinner (25mm) fans move enough air IN to keep up with the air going OUT via the Tornados (84.1CFM@100%)?

Or

Would I be better off to just let the Tornados move the air in as they are pushing it out the back?

In other words, will the thinner fans be able to keep up or just put a drag on the air flow?

TIA
