I've been reading a lot about cooling your computer and it seems you need a fan in the front for blowing and one in the back for sucking. My case only has the spot for one in the back and one on the side. What if I don't have the front fan for blowing in cool air? Am I going to have heating problems without it? Cheers!

Just make sure the side fan blows fresh air into the case & the rear fan sucks the warm air outta the case Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @8x210mhz 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB
