Getting proper airflow

Trying to get proper airflow setup in my antec 600 case. The problem is its a pretty small case (wanted something relativly compact, now im regretting it). My radeon 9700 is so long that it only leave about 2" between the end of the card and my HD. I have 2 intakes, (1 bottom front, 1 hd cage), a pci slot blower, and then 1 exhaust fan. When i use the exhaust fan to blow air out very little air gets to the psu, and it heats up significantly. When i use the exhaust fan to suck air in and blow it toward the HSF, cpu temps drop about 2C's, and the psu cools down a little (still warm). Should i leave the exhause blowing in and go with the lower temps or is there some way to get better balanced airflow having the exhause blowing out?
 
So what's your problem? It's not written in stone that the rear case fan blows out on everybody's case. Since everyone's setup is slightly different, you go with what works best for you.....you get lower temps blowing in, go with it.
 
I was goin for balanced airflow, and with the exhaust fan drawing in, i have a lot of positive pressure, wanted to keep it more neutral.
