so what do you think would be the best fan config? 1 in, 3 out? with the exhaust fans speed being lower than the intake?

thinking of upgrading my xp90, havent found anything that performs more than a couple degrees better yet. maybe now.
 
according to the site you are supposed to use 3 fans, not 4 and if you put 4 on there i doubt your would see any increase over 3, or 2 for that matter. if you had 1 in and 3 out you would be putting negative air presure in the middle, causing the intake fan to spin faster then it would on its own, and making the other 3 pull harder then they would on their own, not to mention the fact that at lower pressure air has less heat conductivity (although we are talking less then 1-2 psi) if you want to use 3 fans, have them all blowing out from the center and make the fan-less side the intake, i would use two though, one blowing in and one blowing out on opposite sides
 
I agree great informative post. Any idea where to find the metal brackets that hold the fans on? I cannot find them seperate anywhere. I would like to test my temps with 2,3 and maybe 4 fans if I can locate the brackets.
