I'm building my PC next week and I have a question. How should I orient fans in the 450D? Currently I plan to have two intakes in the front, and all the other fans as exhaust, (radiator, bottom 120, rear 120) isn't there some positive and negative air pressure thing that effects dust?

for positive pressure you need more intake than exhaust

So I should also set my radiator fans to intake?

Also, I need an extra fan connector so will this fan splitter still let me control the individual fans?

No it won't the commands will be sent to both fans on the Y splitter. If you put two fans on a splitter be sure that you want them to be doing the same thing. As for the layout, x2 front intake x1 bottom intake, x2 rad exhaust and ignore the back.
