Case fans in new case

[praterpie]

Hi all, I just got me a new case with two housing for fans. One at the back, and one at the top.
Just wondering how I configure it.

Do I have air sucked in from top and out the back? or the other way round?.

Or do I have them both blowing air out?

Also is there intake and outake fans? or do you just put them in back to front?

Install 1 fan on the back blowing out. No need to install a fan on the front...just leave the holder empty.

Rear fans should be outtake, front fans should be intake, top fans are generally not necessary, I'd put a blankoff over the top. If you want to use a top fan, it should be outtake. Fans are symmetrical, if it blows the wrong way, just flip it around.

I would install a top fan. Hot air collects at the top of the case and rear fans don't always exhaust it well. Whatever you do, though, don't make the top fan an intake fan; It will hurt more than it will help.

Thanks guys, appreciated.
