Gary,
This may be very old-school, but I get the best cooling when I allow air IN
from the case front and exhaust warmed air out the back of the case
(Lian-Li PC-69's). Does your case have air vents in the front?
If not, and all your fans are in the 'exhaust' mode, you may be trying to
pull air out of a static pocket. I'd buy into what the Beave said; turn the
side cover fans around to blow IN. At least this will give your case
positive pressurization.
Best,
Duncan

All the fans are pushing the air away from the case. Should I have some
pulling air in and some pushing it out to create more of a flow across
the components?

The fans on the side door of the case can be a problem. You have the air
going out or going in there? If the air is going outward try making the
air
move inward. This way the air is being pushed from the back of the case.
I would also make sure the fans on the rear of the case is moving air to
the
back of the case. If you have to, make those move at a higher RPM.

My case is very well ventilated using Scythe 12cm fans It's a full tower
case and has the fans in this configuration on the side of the case:
____________
| |
| X |
| |
| X |

| X X |

-------------
The back of the case has two 8CM fans at the top sucking out air
_______

| X X |
| |

-------
The Case isn't too load because the fans are all Scythe
Inside the case the cables are relatively tidy, but I would have thought
the fans on the side of the case should be moving enough hot air out.
The power supply may well be an issue. I may try to take some photo's at
the weekend if I have time to help show you the actual configuration.
