Question about the COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP

[mylove2u14]

Hello,
I plan on buying a COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP.
Anyway I have some questions about this case in general. You know how there is a bottem cpu fan. Well what way should the air go outward/or inward toward the cpu?
Also I have a 4850 and was thinking about getting a 4850x2 so I could have 3 4850's in total. But now I'm thinking about getting one gtx 280 to start out and then eventually having three total. I was wondering if three gtx 280's would fit into this case?
Also wondering if a Zalman 9700 would fit into this case?
I don't think I'll actually get a 9700 because I plan on getting an I7 920 and using the stock cooler. I don't really plan on going over maybe 3Ghz. But you never know overclocking how things might turn out.

Please replace your PSU too!

You have so many ebay components it scares me!

air always blows from the fan, over the fins of a CPU cooler.

Fans on the front, bottom, and side of a case are generally intakes, and fans on the top and rear (including the PSU) are exhausts.
The RC-690 doesn't come with a bottom fan (120mm), but you can add one. It also doesn't come with either of two top fans (also 120mm). I added just one to mine.
That Rosewill PSU cannot handle multiple GPUs. Jonnyguru actually reviewed one favorably not too long ago, but they were surprised because the brand has historically been crap. Hardwaresecrets.com has some excellent articles on PSU anatomy, and an analysis of a cheap one and why/how it can and will kill a system.
PC Power & Cooling, Antec, Seasonic, and Corsair are among the better PSU brands.
