Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right category or not, if its not feel free to move it.

I just got a computer that, for some reason, the oem didn't install any fans in the case. I just purchased a 120mm fan for the rear vent, there is already a place to put it and everything is ready. I just want to know, what direction should I put it? Should I have the fan blowing air in, or pulling it out?
If it's important, the only other fans in the case are the CPU fan and the power supply fan.

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

Install the fan pulling air out.
