I have seen a few SS and cascades have their fans blowing the air from inside the case and out through the condensor. Wouldnt that cause hot air to be drawn from inside the case and when blown through the condensor add extra heat to it. Even if there is an opening at the end of the case to draw frresh air wouldnt the air still pick up heat when it crosses the hot compressor?

Or is the heat picked up from the case interior insignificant at all. Cause the casing i have here contains warm air way hotter than my room temperature so i have to reposition every fan and open up a few holes to allow better air flow and of course cooler air through the condensor.

So could anyone share their experience with fan position especially on cascades with cases.

You dont really want to blow hot air on your condenser. Putting the condenser in the front and pulling fresh air though it is the way to go.

Also many 110vac fans and the like output 30-40 watts of heat. By blowing through your condenser your pushing that heat thru.
