I just got my new setup working - AMD 2100+, Asus A7N8X, 256DDR400!

My case has a temperature LCD monitor on the front and I'm just wondering what difference it makes how you arrange your chassis fans.

I have 1 on the bottom on the front blowing air towards the back of the case, and another two stacked one on top of another that you can mount on the back end of the case just behind the CPU.

I'm more interested in the setup of those two. Should you have them both blowing air inside the case, or outside? Maybe the top one blowing in so it gives more air on the CPU and the other blowing out? Right now I have them both directing air into the case, which probably wouldn't be a good idea when summer starts up. I'm probably going to reverse them both but what do you guys think?

Note: I also have an Enermax fan control PSU with a fan on the bottom to suck out hot air.
