I bought a new computer, and I was moving all my fans from my old to the new. I have an 80mm one that I had in a grate that was placed at the bottom of the front panel blowing toward my back exhaust fan. On my new case I have a screen already in the back panel of the case. My question is should I have a fan thats in the middle of the back panel, blow inward or have it blow outward when I already have a case slot exhast fan? Thanks for the help.

Keep the airflow going the same direction as much as possible.

Yeah... if it's going in one direction, you'll have better overall air flow / lower temps...

The trick is to sig while everyone else sags...
