Most people set up their fans so air comes in at the lower front and out at the back. If the case doesn't have anywhere to let air in, then having fans is kind of pointless, so you might want to see if your case just doesn't have anywhere for the air to come in.

Or get a new case with good ventilation properties, like maybe an Antec SLK3700AMB. 120mm fan in the rear :D
