Howdy! Had my PC for a bit now and am loving it. Got my fans running quiet like I like them and only have to turn up my GPU fan (off of auto) for a handful of games that run hot. My question is that in the DS pictures for the 950si case the top vent are designed for airflow into the case. That is the direction I have my my two 120mm's blowing. I just bought an Antec 300 case for a PC I built my wife and it shows the top vent fans are suppossed to blow out. I thought I had read on a forum here that someone had done temperature test with the fans blowing both ways and they didn't see a difference but I could not find that post. Has anyone experimented with this? I have the regular built in case fan, a 120mm exhaust, a 120mm over my hard drives, and two 120 mm fans blowing in on top. Any feedback is appreciated.

I always say put top as exhaust, because hot air naturally rises.

should not make a difference if you have a good powerful exhaust fan you can have the rest blowing in, moving hot air out is all great but but if you hitting the part with cool air, the temps should be better.
