Fan Setup?

You should have some intake fans, preferably in the front, and some exhaust fans, preferably in the back. A proper cooling system takes time to map out, and even some trial and error.

Its important to have good airflow...more fans doesn't always mean better airflow. Since all of your fans are bringing in fresh air, theres nowhere for the hot air to go out except the exhaust fan of your powersupply, if it has one. Thats bad.

The characteristics of the individual fans also comes into play here...You'd be better off with one very powerful intake fan in the front and one very powerful exhaust fan in the back. That way you get fresh air moving inside of the case, going over all of the hardware, and then moving out as warm air in the back.

If I were you, I would narrow down my best fans and position them to get this sort of flow through your case...again, intake generally in the front, exhaust generally in the back.
