Antec Super Lanboy rear fan problem?

The rear 120mm fan of this case sits right next to my XP-90 HSF and I was wondering if it might be pulling away air that might otherwise be channeled into the HS via the fan. I was thinking of making the rear fan an intake and turning the front one into the exhaust. What do you guys think?
 
That is not a good idea. Warm air rises. The fan that is higher (the fan at the back) is best to be exhaust.

Put the sytem together and run stability tests (memtest and prime95).
If they pass, everything is fine.

If you get errors, post and include details.

If a fan "pulls away" air from a heat sink, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

You cannot create vacuum in a PC case. You will need a sealed container and powerful fans to create a vacuum.

The question is what air is going to replace the pulled away air. In this case, hopefully, the removed air will be replaced by cool air that is coming in from the intake fan. This would actually be a good thing.
