igotyofire: why the side or front? and not the back? does it reallyu matter unless the back of the tower is shoved up into some dark stuffy corner?(which its not.)
the way the tower is designed a fan in front just doesn't get enough air through there like it does in the back. and i would agree that the blowout fan should be on top since heat rises. I have 7 fans total, 2 on the psu, 2 on the cpu, 1 on vid card, 1 intake, and 1 exhaust. My temps run around 40c on normal load and 46c on heavy load
