direction of air?

For max air flow in a computer how should you set up your fans? the ones in the front of the unit to be intakes, the side window to be an intake and the rear's to be exhaust?

Im getting a p4 3.0C and was looking at the jet 4 looks pretty intense but does anyone here have it? is it loud as hell!? does anyone recommend a different Heat sink that works very well with a decent sound?

Yes, you hit it on the money there.

Just make sure the two rear exhausts have the same total airflow as the total of the side and front intake.

Balanced airflow means better cooling.

Thermalright makes some excellent heatsinks that are so efficient, you can use a quieter fan and still have excellent cooling.

Oh, and go with ALL copper heatsinks for the best results.
