However you do it, you will want to have an air-flow that goes _through_
your box, traditionally _from_ the front side _to_ the back side.

Do _not_ take in air at the same side as you blow out warm air since that
will increase the risk of bringing in already heated air, whereas you want
to bring in air as cold as possible.

You will also want to, if ever possible, bring in air lower down on your
box and blow it out higher up, since warm air raises.

After my yesterday's thread, I decided to buy one fan. When I saw the
price, I
buyed two instead. But now, I don't know how to place them in the case.
The boxes of the fans says that I should place them at the rear of the case

and make sure they pull air from the inside toward the outside. Yesterday,
you told me that it could be better to pull air inside and the guy at the
shop told me that on his own box he had a fan in front pulling air inside
and
one at the rear blowing air outside.
I'm at a complete loss here. Should I follow box's instructions? or the
guy's
advice.
I think I'll first try with one in the front and one in the back. If it's
stupid or even dangerous, any quick warning would be greatly appreciated.
