Im making a new hole (for a fan) in the side of my case for better air flow. Do you think I should put in the bottom front side? Or over the Heatsink? Or pulling from the heatsink?(I know you want air entering front and leaving back) or would pulling conflict with my upcoming glaciator blowing air down? Thanks for any input.

I think Hoot did a article on this you may try and give him a email, As far as i know its best to have 2 good fans depending on your case size 1 blowing in 1 blowing out, hoots article explains which dirrection the air should flow depending on weather your HSF to your CPU is blowing or sucking hot air.

goodluck

Why not use a cardboard side panel to test the fan placement before you start cutting up your case?
