i think one is better. I did that on my case and it really cooled the video card well. 2 would put it too close to the CPU fan and may cause problems depending on how big your HSF is.

i actually have the black one but i was in a rush to find my color so i threw this one in here. I like the first case better but i also bought a zalman vga cooler and im thinking should i blow in more air to the cpu rather than the vid card?

well that depends on the fan config:
if cpu fan gose down(most do) then yes it would be good to put it at the top
if it gose up or out then no it would hinder preformance and be bad
that zalaman cooler would benifit quite nicly from the fresh air so its your choice

i believe that either way, the GPU will benefit more.

Dont you love those case handles, exactly where you need a corner of them and you have to settle for side or under loll
Perso. i think under is best for the hardware, it'll send fresh air to the graphic card

Plus, it seems to go better with the case and it obscures less of the window.
