Hi. Just added two Vantec Stealth fan to my Antec soho file case. I have a stupid question: do I need to make the air go in or out? ... the fans have to blow in or out ??

thanks :p

It's best to have both ways, but if you can only have one, then exhaust, because then air will be forced in through any hole on the case.

Depending on the position, if it's on top half of the case, then exhaust, bottom half, intake.

Bad idea, the back ones, exhaust, front intake, if you're having it the way you have it right now, all you're doing is sucking your psu's hot air back into your case.

I would put one in the lwoer of the two spots on the back of case, blowing out, and one on front of case in front of hard drive bays blowing in. Course, I would also space the three hard drives out between the 6 spots there if you don't have anything in the top set of 3.5s.
