Hey Thad, what about FARTASS?

Having two fans; one blowing in, one blowing out?  There has been discussion
in the past about fan usage and it seemed to me that the 'FARTASS' method
might be the best way to keep air moving through the computer.

The only problem I see is that maybe the air blowing in exits through the 
holes in the back(front)-plane before being sucked out by the other fan.
