I just put together an Athlon 1400 in a Enlight 7237 340WATT Case, the case came with a fan in the front to draw air in, so I still need to install a fan in the rear, my question is what would be the better set up. the front fan blowing in & the rear blowing out, or vice versa, the rear blowing in and the front blowing out?

I'm not overclocking or anything btw...

thanks

front blowing in, rear blowing out.... Since the heat rises, it would be better suited to use your "exhaust" uptop... Also, the rear fan is usually right near your processor which will help to remove hot air around there....
