Cooling question

Atm all I have to cool my system is the power supply fan, mb fan and a case fan on the side. I have 2 80 mm fans on the way from new egg, one for the front, one for the back. Was wondering if you install the fans like this: the front fan blows the air in, which means you'd face it label in, and the back fan you face label out, meaning it blows that air out, so it works as a cross breeze, is this how you do it?

yep, front intake, rear exhaust. If you had a top blowhole it would be exhaust, and if you had a side fan it would be intake.
