fan placement

[stringcheeseincident]

i just ordered a cheap case off newegg i plan to mod. it says it only has 1 80mm fan spot in the front. i realize thats not gonna move enough air to keep the system at a stable temp, so i plan on cutting holes for a few extra fans. i have 2 80mm fans and 2 60mm fans i can use. im not sure if the case comes with a fan, so one of the 80mm may need to be used for the front of the case. im thinking putting the 2 60mm fans in the back, like a normal case would work. should i set them to bring air in or push it out? if i bring it in, it might get cool air in on the cpu, or it might just bring in warm air from the power supply fan. i know i want an 80mm blowhole on the top. any other ideas?

usually the front brings cool air in and the back takes hot air out.

you can always use a high air flow 800mm for the intake, like a tornado or a TT smart fan
