With the Corsair 230T case, I want to know how my fans should be placed.
For the rear fan should it be intake or exaust?
There is also another area at the bottom of the case where I can place another fan. Should it be for intake or exaust?

Front two fans are intake; set-up the rear fan as exhaust (case description says that is how it is already set-up). Optional bottom location(s) should always be intake as heat rises and is therefore very difficult to pull out the bottom.
If your power supply has a fan on the top, as opposed to the older style with the fan at the back, mount it fan DOWN so it sucks cool air in from under the case and exhausts it out the back.
