I now have a setup with Corsair Carbide 400R with 8 total fans. Here is the list of them:

3x Corsair AF140 140mm 1200 RPM (66.4 cfm)
2x Xigmatek XLF-F1453 140mm 1000 RPM (63.5 cfm)
3x Factory Corsair 120 (unknown cfm est. 50~)

At the time being, in addition to two white led fans that came with the chasis, the side fans and a bottom 120 mm fan are also intaking. The others (one on rear and two on top) are exhausting.

So right now I have two 140mms(side) and three 120mms(2 front, 1 bottom) intaking while three 140mms(two top, one rear) are exhausting. I was aiming for a positive air pressure but I am not sure if the side 140mms should exhaust or intake. What should I do?

Bottom, side, front should all be intake. Top and rear should be exhaust imho.

That's the current situation and I guess that's how it should be. Thank you.
