Hey, on my right side panel on my tower, there is a Grill at the back where the cpu is housed, i put a fan there as intake.

Is that a good idea????

Its not a bad idea.
What type of heatsink is on your CPU? Water or air cooled?
If its aircooled, it should assist somewhat.
It its watercooled, it wouldnt be that effective.
What other fans do you have, and how are they set up?

Its Aircooled plus a stock cpu cooler.

I have a intake at front, intake at bottom of case, 2 intake left panel, 1 exhaust at back, 2 exhaust at top. i could always get water cooling and also still keep a few fans.
