On a bottom mounted PSU is it better to have fan facing down or up?

This is my case. http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?category_id...

and this is my PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

As long as the case has an opening under the PSU where it can draw in fresh air then it should point down. Pointing it up will have a negative effect on the airflow inside the case.
