Fan arrangment problem

I have two 80mm case fans. How should I arrange them in order to maximise air circulation inside my case? (I can only use the two standard fan placings at the back) Thank you.

There's no place to install a fan in the front? Ideally, you should place an exhaust fan in the rear, just below the PSU....& an intake fan in the lower front

It's not the most efficient design, but usually the front fan sucks air from behind the bezel...there should be some sort of air inlets...either an arrangement of holes or slotted louvres, or an opening at the very bottom of the face, or a combination. The cavity behind the bezel acts as a crude duct..
