    Front intake, back exhaust, at minmum.

    If you want extra, add a side intake. If you want even more, add a bottom intake and a top exhaust.

    You want to try to maintain positive air pressure in the case (more intake than exhaust) to help keep out dust and the like. Negative usually works a little better for performance (varies from case to case of course) but there's not much in the difference.

    Yeah that was the reason you shouldn't have gotten it, €70 is a complete ripoff but €40 is pretty good. In general though, most people here order from www.hardwareversand.de as they have the best prices.

    Yeah I only heard about them after I ordered my stuff but anyway! They're delivery doesn't suit as I'm buying stuff in fits and starts.


    Anyway, what's the best fan config? And cooler? Thanks again!
