On the top level you are correct. The right fan blows directly on the processor heatsink and the airflow travels around the Video card and gets sucked out on the PCI slot side. Just checked my Abit EQ and the CPU is at 36deg. C with a motherboard temperature of 22deg. C
The bottom level sucks in on the left side blowing directly on the hard drive/CD-RW. There is a 92mm fan above the power supply blowing down into the PSU and a fan exiting the system on the back of the PSU. Lower level temp is about 27deg. C and inside the PSU the thermal sensor reads about 35deg. C.
Chilly! Well chilly enough.
