Have some fans pulling air into the case from the front. And have some fans exhausting air out the top, it's best to have more fans blowing air INTO the case than out.

As for the fans, the side of the fan that has the 'X' going across it (the frame that's holding the blades) is the side the air comes out.

The side with the blades and hub is the side that pulls the air through.

In my opinion, having the intake at the front and/or bottom of the case, and the exhaust to the back and top is the best. I'm not sure if all fans have this, but the Corsair SP and AF fans have arrows which point which way the fan spins and the direction of airflow
