Simple case fan question

When I install my rear case fan, should it blow air into the case, (closewise fan blade rotation) or suck out (anti clockwise rotation).

- rear fans should blow outward (exhaust)
- front fans are unnecessary, but if you insist on having one, it should blow inward (intake)
- side panel fans are disruptive & shouldn't be installed
