Cooling in an Antec Sonata case

How would the cooling go in that case? I see one fan draws air in from the back and then there is space for one mroe fan infront of the hard drives. What will this help do? Will that one 120mm fan be enough? I was thinking of getting one more fan to keep the HDD's cool but I'm not sure. Currently, only plan for 1 120GB JB hard drive but more may be added in the future. Will that extra fan help blow the air out of the case because I don't want air and dust to collect inside...

the fan on the back is the exhaust fan while the one in the front is the intake fan. I have heard that the intake fan is in a place that does not give the greatest air flow though.

I thought back was intake because isn't that where they kept the filter for the fan? Oh... nevermind, its on the front.

Bump, anyone want to clarify this?

The back is exhaust and the front is intake.. though the front is actually located closer to the middle of the case. I have a Sonata and I've put the extra front fan on.. though it doesn't seem to help much in terms of case temps. However it does a decent job of keeping my HDD cool though.

What are your system specs and temperatures? I want to make sure that its quiet but doesn't get too hot over a period of many days.
