hello,
I was looking at the inside of my computer and i saw a fan at the front of the case just infront of the HDD, and then i started to think, where is all this hot air going?? and why put a fan at the front of the case and not the back, I also understand why they would put a fan just infront of the HDD, but still i think where is all this hot air that its blowing going?? Can someone please answer my questains.

When you say that the fan is in front of the hard drive, are there holes in the front of the computer for the air to blow out? If not then you should move the fan to the back (and there is also a fan in the power supply)

first of all the fan should be blowing air into the case(cool air) if not turn it around. the rear fans are exhausts, these take the hot air and blows it out the back........
