So are all three (including the exhaust fan on the case) blowing in the same direction at least?

they are now  :)

honestly I am not sure what was going on before.. I think the **misplaced fan was blowing the wrong way and fighting the other two..

airflow is all front to back now.. as it should have been before.. I just had one to many beers and forgot what i was doing...

Ahh yess the good ol' days of building PCs whilst drunk. I once literally forgot to put on the fans of the heatsink anyway. That was interesting... Turned out overheat protection does not always work.

more than once I've forgotten to plug the fan back into the power grid after reattachment.

I wasn't drunk though, I'm was just careless.

I once forgot to attach PSU cables. Instead of checking the cables, I thought the fan in the PSU was dead and that the mobo was dead or fried. I felt so stupid just noticing after 2 hours or something that I just forgot to plug in the main motherboard power connector.

I almost called technical support for a laptop that was not turning on about 10 years ago. I opened the manual just to check the trouble shooting guide as  I figured they would ask me to go through that first anyway. The very first item on the checklist was to make sure the power point is switched on. I thought to myself what sort of ****wit would not know/forget to turn the power point on. Well turns out I was that sort of ****wit.

tl;dr Everyone does special things from time to time.

That's not as bad as having it plugged into a power board, and then having the power board plugged into itself.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
