On the TJ09, would it be best to have the 2 120 fans on top of the case be blowing out for exaust or sucking in for intake?
 
I concur doctor, I will be purchasing the case in the near year. Thanks to the air intakes at the bottom, that will be bringing in the cool air. The beauty of thermodynamics and hot air rising would mean that having the top 2 fans as exhaust.

Only one problem I would see though, would you have the rear fan as an exhaust or not. For the reason that you would have 3 fans in localised area moving the same amount of air..... hmmm someone smarter please fulfill that quandary.
 
I'm thinking that it would make sense to have the rear fan blow cool air onto the cpu
 
yer rear blowing in then it gets sucked out at the top giving the cpu fresh air 24/7
 
that makes sense. I'll have to change the direction of my zalman 9500 and reseat it. If I have the rear fan suck in should I have the zalman 9500 blow toward the front of the case or have it blow straight up and out the top of the case while the fear fan blows cool air perpindicular to it?
 
I added a fan above the cpu blowing in and have the exhaust blowing out.

That's a good idea too. I'm not sure what I want to do yet once it comes in. I was thinking of reseating the heatsink and see If I can apply AS5 a little better and see if I can't drop the cpu temp a little.
 
i just flipped it around to have both blowing out. No difference at all. Personally, I'd rather have it blowing in to keep the positive pressure in the case and help with dust.
