I've seen people say that you need to have exhaust on the back and top of the case and intake on the front.

How would you know which is which on the case fan?
 
Solution
Look at the edges of the fans. Most will have arrows showing rotation and air direction. If your fans don't have the arrows, most of the time, air is blown toward the side with the label.

Just to clarify, when he says label, he's not talking about the sticker on the fan blades - he means the label on the back of the fan - the side that has the struts that support the motor is pretty much universally the back.
