Fan Layout

I have an Antec PlusView1000AMG with 5 Cooler Master fans. My current layout consists of two blowing air in from the front, one blowing in from the side, two blowing out from the back, and the Vantec Ion also blowing air out. I'll put my hand in the back, and the air doesn't even feel warm, and I'm wondering if I can get lower temps by switching the front with the back... where I'll have two blowing in the back, and two blowing out the front. Should I try it out, and how will my Hitachi hard drive deal with no fresh air being thrown directly on it?
 
Computer cases are made so that the front fans cool the hard drives and the back fans take away the heat from the cpu
so do not reverse the flow thats just crazy
the fan that is blowing from the side, is it over the CPU or like the video card ?
is there a way you can make a piece of cardboard so it points the air towards the CPU's diection. that would help ....
 
No, the side fan is over the video card, and I want it to be... helps my Radeon 9800 Pro overclock.
