Positive (pulling fresh air in) airflow vs negative (pushing hot air out) airflow in a portable? Best heatsink configuration, thermal compound, etc? Noise & heat is a concern to some people when making a portable; what do you go about doing personally? Do you care much? Discuss :P
 
Depends on how hot the system gets. If it doesn't get very hot, positive pressure would probably be better, but if it gets kinda hot you don't want hot air blowing out of any cracks there may be in the casing :P
 
Suck air in in one vent, exhaust it out the other.

Ashen sucked air in on the side:

Yep. The Wii only needs a single fan.
