    Arrow fan setup for good air circulation

    What would be the best setup for air circulation in a scanner box contaning only the motherboard and the hard drive ?

    setup on cpu:
    air--->fan--->cpu or air<---fan<---cpu ??

    setup on scanner box
    air--->fan--->scanner box or air<---fan<---scanner box ??

    see pictures of the box

    On the CPU I would defenetelly do
    Air->Fan->CPU

    As to a box in general - just add another fan in the opposite corner:

    Outside Air->Fan->Box->Fan->Outside Hot Air

    A 10" fan screwed to the side of your case might do the job...
