fan question
lol sry guys if this sounds like a nub question
but which way to u put the fan in???
i usually put it so that the air goes out of the case..
but the air outside is colder, so wouldnt it be good for at least one fan to blow in the case, and the rest to blow out?

ok... but the front bottom...
there is a spot for a fan, but the wholes on the outside box are closed.... from far away, they look like holes... but they are not.. it suppose to be like that?

Likely, there is a gap between the fascia and the front of the metal part of the case. That's where it will pull the air in from.

I have a case that has the same type of front setup if I'm seein it right...U have to pop off that black thing and the fan just sits in there....no screws needed then you pop it back on the case and there you have it

is there a gap between the plastic front and the metal, say towards the bottom? If not, that is indeed strange. Do those squares by chance just pop out? The case looks nice except for that feature.. why put a place for a fan if there is no way to pull the air in???  | |

The fan in the front will be fine, Cannibal. Not to mention that putting your hard drives behind it is a REALLY good idea. A cool hard drive is a happy hard drive.
As for the rest, I'd put the rear and the top fans on exhaust, and probably the side one too, though if you really need some more cool air, I'd use the side panel fan as an intake.
