I think that's a really crappy drawing...
 
OK, now on to real opinions, natural convection is bottom to top, colder to warmer.  Therefore your bottom 120mm is just a waste of space.  You haven't mentioned your case MFG. or model.
 
I'd probably do a mod and have the bottom 120mm pulling in, preferably a front mounted 80mm pair / 120mm input as well.  If possible, a 120mm top mounted exhaust would also help a bit, but again that depends on case, layout, etc., details of which we do not have.
 
OK, I've revised my opinion.  It's not just a crappy drawing, its just in general a crappy post.

Well, STFU too...   Its not only a crappy post, but its a crappy case and a crappy website with a crappy manual.
 
However, working with what info we're given, reverse the bottom side fan's air flow to better cool your graphics cards (if any) and add the optional front 120mm fan.
 
Get creative and filter both inbound airflows, to keep the dust bunnies at bay.
 
OK, now you are saying 'two input 120mm fans and only one exhaust 120mm fan?'  No, not quite.  There's also the PSU fan, and the filters will cut down on some input airflow, unless you spend large.  And a positive internal pressure will also help.
 
Also get a good fan controller, preferably with its own thermal measuring tools.

Based on your picture:
 
1. Get rid of two of the fans.
2. Drill holes in the fan blades of the other.
3. Screw the case into those holes.
4. Superglue the fan to the floor.
5. Turn you computer on and it will spin around and look real cool like a pinwheel.
 
Thats just base on your picture though, it might not work in reality.
