darkFlash DLX4000

Hello stupid question but the fan orientation on this picture looks like ALL of them pulls hot air outside. Why there is no fans actually sucking cool air inside ?
It's a stupid marketing image to demonstrate all the pretty RGBLED fan hubs. In reality you'd want to flip the three fans on the side panel to be intakes.

I didn't think of that ! XD Also On YT You wont find Single video with correctly installed fans in this case and that got me thinking I don't know something. Marketing ... the fan manufacturers should then make version of fan that works the other direction than standard.... that could make the led look and functionality at one go.
Thank You for answer.

Nope that's not it, they use reverse fans on the side so they look good and still draw the air in.

They do make reverse fans.

They do make reverse fans.

Reverse fans do indeed exist and Darkflash even make some but the ones in the photo don't match any of DarkFlash's reverse fans:

It looks to me like they've just used their standard, non-reverse CX6 fans:

I'm 100% confident my original statement is correct and they just built it using all regular fans to take a product shot, and didn't really care about the airflow being valid because after the photoshoot it was likely dismantled so the parts could be used in the next product shot.
