what ever u do make sure that the exhaust are always stronger than intakes, otherwise hot air would just keep buliding up in the system and not exhaust.

a good idea is to get a very power exhaust for the rear and some low cf/m fans for front.

the side one is for gpu et al. and should be intake.

remember to have a rear exhasut powerful enough to remove the air built up by the intake fans

I saw on a CM catalog a diagram abt Air flow... Only the Front and Side shud be used for INTAKE.. the rest all for the hot air going out!

Yep. Agreed with the posts above. Simply put:
Front = Intakes x 2
Rear = Exhausts x 2
Side = Intake for the VGA

^addition: if possible, add an exhaust at the top of the casing as heat rises.
