Case fan output directions

Hello all:

I'm getting the Antec PlusView case.
http://www.antec-inc.com/pro_details...?ProdID=90510#
It has 5 fan bays, and I'll have 5 fans (2 come w/the case; I'm looking at the Crystal fans at coolerguys w/ blue LEDs- buy 2 get one free). This is my first build, and my question is:

Which fans should I have blowing out, and which ones should blow in? There are 2 front, 2 rear, and one on the door.

Thanks in advance.

Fans in front should be intakes (bring cool air into the case) and the fans on the back should be exhausts (expel warm air from the case). The one on the door should blow inward towards the cards.

Just remember...the more fans you have in your case, the louder it's going to be.
