    Default Airflow

    Whats the best airflow to use with two fans on a case?
    Both with airflow toward outside, both inside, or one out one in?
    I'm mounting them on my case and dont know wich is the best method to keep everything cool.
    The fans will be placed in a "line" just above drivers, so i was thinking about the in/out method....

    In contrast to a pc cooling scheme; it's probably best to just have intake fans. That way you can filter the air entering the projector.

    Of course it would be possible to filter the air when using exhaust fans, but you run the risk of creating negative pressure in the case, which means that dust will be dragged in through any small leaks.
