Radiator airflow question

Hi, I know this has been asked a lot, but I can't seem to find one thread that answers all of my q's regarding airflow...

I have 4 fans, 2 on top of my case, and 2 near the bottom. I'm putting a dual radiator on the top 2 fans, and a single radiator on one of the bottom fans. Should the 3 radiator fans be intakes or exhausts? Or does it even matter?

I read somewhere that it doesn't make sense to blow the heat from the radiator into the case, but on the other hand, an outtake will be using the warmer air from inside the case to cool the radiator.

I'm also concerned about airflow b/c I'm passively cooling my 8800gts with the swiftech ramsink kit. My top two fans sit right over the card, so I was thinking it would be optimal to be blowing hair into the case...or does an exhaust do the same job? I really have no idea about this stuff.

Thanks for any help,

Dennis
