Thread: cpu fan placement ?

The cpu fan is said to be preferrebly placed facing the ront of the case so that the air is blown out the back of the pc (zalman cnps 9700). But the Antec 900 has a huge fan on top, so i am really confused as to which way it should be facing so that the most air is taken away?
Thank you

Yes, there are two 120mm fans on the front, 1 200mm fan on top (at the rear) and 1 120mm fan at the back. These are very clear !
