On my Thermaltake Highest Xaser III V2000A Super Tower I have 2 fans on the clear case door. I wanted to get some opinions on how the air flow direction should be.

The stock air flow is into the case, blowing onto the mobo/vid card.
 
That is how you want it. It's there to provide cool air for you vid card and mobo.
 
Ran a few tests last night, and noted that with the fans air flow blowing out of the case, I actually got lower temps on my cpu and mobo. I tested this using two tests, one under a full load running 3dMark05 and another running the seti software. The tests showed lower temps at idle and under a full load under both tests.

Thanks for the input!
 
OK then wtf are you posting this for then if you were going to test to see which way is better? To insult and prove us wrong?

WHat about your vid card temps? Primary purpose of having fan blowing in is to provide the vid card direct cool air.
 
I have mine blowing in and the air goes straight over the HSF on my vid card and havent had any complaints. I think it would be worse in my caseif the air was blowing out cuase i need as much cooling as possible for my GTX. But whatever works in your case...

IMHO pulling is better than pulling, if he has a good intake fan with consistant air flow, he should and WOULD have better cooling temps with the pull, RATHER than the push, if you think about the way a case is made(depeding on if he has an intake) it would work better.
