The side panel should be intake. The rest looks fine.

So I just got the NZXT Lexa S black. My fan layout is as seen in the image:
(please ignore my drawing it was made using MS Paint lol)

 

And yeah, I will be buying the reference R9 290X tomorrow. So do tell the fan layout (if mine isn't fine) accordingly.

 

Help will be appreciated, thanks!

Holy negative pressure, Batman!

 

I'd make the side fan an intake and consider setting at least one of those top exhausts to be powered down entirely until temperatures warrant cranking it up.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Running both fans slower seems more reasonable that running one faster and turning off the other.

Certainly, but my thinking was shut one down entirely and run the other at 50% or so. Quieter machine, less dust buildup.
