Which way should my fans be blowing?
Ok, so I have 4 fans, 2 in the front 2 in the back. The one in the front is blowing outward cooling my hard drive, and the ones in the back are also blowing outwards since I see this as the logical thing to do. But then there's the one in the front, I don't remember if it was blowing in or out (I just cleaned it all out and was putting this fan back and got confused). So should I have it blowing in or out? How about the rest of them? Anythign would be nice.

The fans on the front should be blowing in. The goal is to get air coming in the front bottom of the case, going over the processor, and exiting out the top of the rear through any case fans and the PSU.

Oh joy, the one in the front just happens to be on the bottom! So that'll be blowing in and the fans in the back will be up above the CPU (they are already). So awesome! Thanks
 Hopefully this will help my performance (although it is anything but amazing  )But now maybe it'll like... work better

Unless you are getting heat related problems it won't necessarily boost performance.
