If you have a standard desk-style computer case, you'll want to set up the front fan to blow in and the rear fans to blow out. ATX computer cases were designed specifically with this air flow path in mind.

You're right. I meant volume of air. If there's too much air moving through, not all of it absorbs heat...

BTW, I notice you're an LSU fan. I really need LSU to blow out Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, because I've been running a lot of smack here about how the SEC rocks and ND is overrated!
