Is a computer fan input or output?
Both, depending which fan you mean, as most computers will have several. Generally speaking the cpu fan blows air down onto the heatsink. The power supply fan blows air out. If you have separate case fans they will probably suck air in, which therefore creates airflow through the case in concert with the power supply fan.

Hey does anyone know why my computer is shutting off all the time. And when i turn it back on after it shuts down it won't come on i have to wait like 30 min and turn it back on. but it shuts again?
This is most likely an overheating CPU. The motherboard has a sensor for heat. When the motherboard (BIOS) detects heat past a safe threshold the motherboard will shut the computer down to protect the CPU. Solution: Get some canned air and take you computer outside. Open the case and blow out all dust on the areas with fans. Important areas 1) the fan where you see the main cable plug in. 2) The fan in the middle of the board. 3)Any other fans around the case. * Ensure that you hold the can upright so you only blow air nad not fluid. Secondly, plug your computer in with the case open. Watch to ensure all fans are spinning. If they are not spinning have them replaced by a local computer shop.

The case itself may also be equipped with one or more fans. The purpose of all of these fans is to remove heat from the components to prevent overheating.
Why is optimal air circulation so important to a computer system?
It is important because it helps to prevent overheating inside your case. A processor runs very hot, A video card runs hot. That's why there are usually some fans inside the case. Although they do help it's best to maximize the cooling inside your computer. The lower temperature it operates at the more you can push it. I run my case open aired, maybe that's a step too far but it does help. Airflow is VERY important though, don't unplug your fans unless you want your components to overheat! There are some extra cooling fans you can buy at fry's or other computer components stores, called PCI fans. They boost the cooling a a little, that should help.
