Hello
I have a Deepcool Dukase case, which has 5 fans: 2 in front, 2 on top, 1 at the rear. I also have a Zalman CNPS10X CPU cooling installed.
With this chassis, how should I set up my fans directions for best performance?
Can I do 2 in front sucking in, 2 on top & 1 at rear blowing out?
And because this chassis has a front cover like the photo below, if I set up like that do I have to open the cover every time I work on my computer to let the air to be sucked in?
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you.

To answer the question about the door (since bboiprfsr didn't), opening the door will help a bit with the airflow, but if you look at enough of the case pictures, you'll see that it doesn't totally block the airflow even with the door closed - there are some openings to the right of it that let air in, and the trapezoidal cutout at the left of the door should also let some air in with it closed. It might also be possible to remove the door without causing permanent damage to the case (I've had other cases with doors where that was possible, though I haven't used this particular case, so I'm not certain it applies here)
