Hey all,
I have a question for all..

What do you think is the best way to keep the correct airflow in your case?

Right now I have a thermaltake xaser II case..that has a total 5 fans..2 on front, 2 back and one one side.

Right now..my current air flow is - two fronts, and one side blowing air in and 2 back blow air out...do you guys think this is optimal or is there something better i can do..
 
I have the same set up as far as fans go. Do not forget your PS is also blowing out as it should be. So really you have 3 in and 3 out.
I can not see any way without adding another blow hole on top or something that you could do any better.
 
what if you reverse the process...would it be better...

2 back and 1 side fans blowing in and 2 front blowing out..or would tat just be the same...
 
i believe they set it up the way it is b/c the cpu mb and videocard make the most heat and by having the airflow the way it is gets the hot air out of case as quickly as possible. other way would keep the hot air in the case longer
