If you mean at what part of the case then one at front and back is good.

Click to expand... Sorry if I sound a bit sarky M8 but...if you bung it in and put your hand outside the case and the air isn't coming out then surely you'll turn it other way round? Did I miss summat fundamental here? I have had a Shiraz or two lol
