Q: How can I setup airflow inside my chassis for maximum cooling?

A: The standard build of the case on the rear fan is for intake, based on a single chassis fan. Exhausting it can be just as effective, especially if you have a fan mounted to intake from the front of the chassis. A third option would be to have both the rear and front fan taking in air to create positive airflow inside your case. The real deciding factor on the configuration of your fan depends on where the most heat is being generated. For SCSI drive RAIDS creating an airflow that brings air directly over your drives is very effective. For high end processors intake through the fan duct helps keep cool air flowing directly over the processor chip at all times. Depending on your hardware and the temperature of your equipment different variations on fan configuration may work better.
