I don't think it really makes much difference to temps overall, might be very slightly cooler with more intake, but my guess is that's because fans pushing air is more efficient than pulling it... But that's just speculation.
One thing I can say for sure though, positive pressure in a case helps keep it cleaner than negative pressure, especially when dust filters are involved.. :) It stops tiny dust particles from entering the case through the cracks and holes where there aren't any fans.
I have tried turning the back fan around for intake and that created some weird noise with the heat pipes for cpu, but looking at the image bellow I will draw up an image that I saw one guy had his fans on a different site with the same case, the heat pipes are aligned wrong but with the image and imagination I think you can see what I mean. and just the 1 fan on the top would be intake the 2 others would be exhaust
I didn't know if I should post mine or not as i'm not sure if it qualifies as a rig :P
It's a fairly standard HP Media Center m7000kr with the exception of a nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX (which was good back when I got this machine). A set of medium range Logitech speakers and the only good think i've got is my iiYama Prolite 24" monitor. I used to use it for my Xbox but now it's for my PC :) I tried my best to hide the cables but as you can see, it didn't go well I've got a nice New York canvas picture behind aswell :P
Pretty nice professional looking PC. People nowadays don't appreciate classic designs any more I for one am using a "gaming" computer case just because of the large space inside, not the leds & everything.I didn't know if I should post mine or not as i'm not sure if it qualifies as a rig :P

I don't see the point in spending more money on a PC case with fancy leds and things when no-one else gets to see it. I managed to pickup this PC a year ago for only £150 when it was worth atleast £300. The people who were selling it had no idea how much it was worth. It needed a right clean though, it was reeking of marijuana.
So does mine =)) I clean the intake filters at least twice a month though. Dust in the air is the real nightmare since i have 2 cats and a dog running around the room all the time. Luckily for me the thing is modular in design (another plus for these "gaming" cases) and real easy maintenance.
