Blowing cool air in over the hottest part of the PC might seem to make sense, but what then about all that warm air you've just created inside the case that's going to warm everything else up.
The only time I've seen ducting inside a case, is on some Dell server, and that's attached to an extract fan. The need for that becomes quite clear when the case gets filled with loads of disks and stuff so the air paths insdie the case can get too obstructed. Having said that my current Dell server has something like 10 different fans
It must be much better to concentrate on exhausting the warm air to outside.
My view, decent case with a front in, and rear out fan, plus the PSU extract fan, and a decent (not stock supplied) CPU cooler should do the job nicely.
