I remember reading something about that and yes the temperature will be cooler if all fans are blowing air out of the case as opposed to some blowing and other blowing out.

You will get a better "over-all" cooling by having the fans blow out. The air flow will be far less turbulent inside the case. If you blow into the case, certain parts will cool down far more than others, which will be hotter and you may end up with "dead spots" of no cooling.

Looks like I need to switch one fan from pointing in to pointing out. However, it should be noted that I do have a dual harddrive fan right under my harddrive and it disburses heat from it that way. Of course there is also the CPU fan which is a default these days. You got me sold on the dust idea though.
