What do you guys think is better? I have a front/rear fan, should I have the front sucking air in and the rear blowing out (to keep air flowing)? Or should I have them both blowing air outward (to relieve heat created by devices)?

TIA

i second the above. front sucks, rear blows. that gives you a nice "path o' circulation"

I agree as well, if you were to have both blowing air out you wouldnt have any cooler air comming in. You should have moore air comming in than out, if you reverse that your defeating the purpose.
