Generally, you would take air in through the frront and bottom, and then release it out of the top and back because of how air works.

 

Sadly, in the pursuit of style, EVGA took style over usability with the Hadron Air.

 

The configuration you suggest is not really optimal, since the front top fan woulld suck back in the hot air you are pulling out with the rear top fan. But as for a better one, I am unsure.

It would be better that way, since you would be carrying out all of the hot air. I still never understood why they couldn't just make the case a tad longer and put a 120mm mount in the front.

I don't quite understand how and where fans and mesh are placed. And EVGA just earned the "worse than Corsair" award for their product page. Depending on how you will be cooling, I'd go all intake and trust on passive exhaust. It can be little hotter.
