Stretch your budget by another 150 and get 2 Antec PRO 80mm fans (34cfm) for 326 each (including shipping) from theitdepot.com.

Dude, your case has a fan mount in front so I suggest you mod the front of your case and mount it with a 80/120mm 
And since you have 2 rear fan mounts, fit them with 80mm Antec PROs.
If you decide not to mod your case in front, use a side fan and experiment with it - both as an intake and exhaust - to see which works for your rig better.

....1 side intake & 2 rear exhaust fans... this is NOT good air flow but you have no choice ..... wait a minute - what about both back fans intake and side panel fan exhaust - this looks better to me.udit-130286 said:
Is the side fan in the front part of the side panel or at the back ? Your HDDs will run hot if no air flow over them - as will your CPU if the side panel fan does not throw air over it .... you will loose either way depending on location of fan on side panel..... unless you are in an A/C room.
EDIT: I just checked the link for the Antec 80mm fans... 2 things.... it says 2600RPM - that is slow for a 80mm - dont expect much air flow from that fan. Antec's fan are mostly on the slow side.
Another thing please dont miss the mention of ball bearings - they say
... make sure you select a ball bearing fan !!!

No picture there showing the side paneludit-130286 said:
Read my EDIT to my last post.
You have blocked the passage of the airflow on the side of the case where the fan on the side panel is located - is there enough space for air flow on the side ? This I gather from last picture on your rig page.
