Best location for my 3rd case fan?

I am setting a new rig and it will have 3 80mm fans. I have one extracting below the PSU. Another bringing air in at the bottom front. The 3rd I'm going to put on the side of the case ( so will be cutting a hole ) - where's the best place for it?

Graphics Cards should be when they arrive a pair of SLI'd 6600's cooled by Zalman's.

Oh I can go out of the top

- just assumed side was better due to flow problems past the PSU cables.

Temps are currently unknown, this is a new project using a mix of old and new bits (inspired by the recent beige project, this ones going to end up red though not black). Might not need the cooling this is true but as it will be overclocked figured I'd get everything sorted as I assembled it.

Cables will be tidier when finished, currently the case is semi dismantled being painted and not paid any attention to tidiness.

Mmm I'm thinking I'll add it just above the NB fan so all the cold air comes in in the bottom front of the case then the fans pull it out of the back.
