This doesnt really pertain to windows xp, but the answer to this question is very simple im sure. On your case, should and of your fans be blowing out, as in outisde your computer? Mine new case came with the fan along the top of the tower blowing outward, should I change this or is it intentional for ventilation purposes? THnaks for the help

you've maybe got vents on the front of the PC and the fans are drawing cold air from the vents over the warm components and expelling the warm air, so constantly keeping cool air entering the case.
