right now, the front is a 120mm intake.
i got 2x80mm in the back as exhaust.
the side panel has holes for a 120mm fan that i'm going to install when i get a video card.

do u think switching the front to be exhaust would help? and only use the side as intake?

thanks.
 
Your good, I'd keep it that way. Maybe unbolt and flip the acrylic over to move the vent hole to the top and add a 120mm intake there as well.
 
You should always keep the airflow moving in one direction, so an intake in the front and exhaust in the back is the best setup. You shouldn't have fans on opposite sides blowing in opposite directions.
 
i thought maybe switching the 2 in the back to be intake and the front to be exhaust might work...since more air is directed at the cpu heatsink, but then i have 2 exhausts (front and power supply) and flow is kinda messed up. i'd also move more heat towards all the drives which is probably bad.
