Best place to put temp diode for a reliable system temp reading?

This will be my first time being able to place temp diodes anywhere I want them. I have two to place, and I want one to be a general system temp. My case has 2 80mm in the back blowing out, 1 80mm blowhole on the top blowing out, 1 120mm in the side window blowing out (although I may switch it around), and 1 80mm in the front blowing in. There's also a GT in the AGP slot.

I don't want to dangle the sensor in the middle of the case, so where is a good place to conceal it, yet get accurate results?
 
Generally at the back measuring the temperature of the air that exits the case. This gives a good impression of the ambient temperature of the CPU, GPU, RAM and NB. I don't know though how your 120mm fan affects the "true" system temp and if the best place to measure is somewhere different because of that.
 
First off, I think the 120mmm on the side should be an intake. And I think the temp probe should be near the middle in the back near your exhaust fans.
