Fan direction

[Guest]

Can y'all make suggestions on the direction of my fans? I have a picture
at http://overlunch.com/fans.jpg .

Right now the TR2-M4 heatsink/fan is oriented "vertically", and the air
enters in from the top and bottom. The top is an inch away from the bottom
fan of my PSU.

There is a 80mm fan to the bottom left (back of case) of the TR2-M4, and
it's currently bringing the air inwards. I have room for a fan on the
bottom right (front of case), but there isn't anything there.

After I clean up my cable mess, would it be better to point the TR2-M4
horizontally instead of vertically?

Should my case fan push hot air out or bring cooler air in?

If I added a front fan, would I have that bring cooler air in and have the
rear push hot air out?

Thanks in advance for all my newbie questions!

Mike

Top and bottom is relative to the picture. I probably should have written
that air enters through both sides of the fan and air is pushed out the
bottom.

"Vertically" is also relative to the picture.
