right now, Intel's specification of ATX cases/mobos/power supplies makes the direction of Power fan optional -- in other words, there really isn't a way for us to tell you for sure
Long time ago, all (or at least majority of) cases pushed air out... then, ATX pushed air in, in an attempt to cool the processor without active fan on CPU itself. Obviously today that's almost silly, since you MUST have active cooling on CPU anyway, so manufacturers are free to put the fan whichever way they please
take a piece of paper and experiment, it shouldn't be too difficult to figure it out
