If you want to get into details, you can read this article about positive vs negative air pressure inside your case.

Case Fans: Should You Worry About Positive Or Negative Pressure? : How To: Properly Plan And Pick Parts For An Air-Cooled PC, Part 2

Otherwise, it's not really a big deal, as long as your components are staying cool enough on idle/load.
There's really no reason to go crazy with the fans, cause it's a waste of money and it just makes your computer louder.
