Noob PSU question

I know this sounds a stupid question, but does the fan suck or blow the air?

The PSU will draw the air In and discharge out the back.

When you say upside down, do mean the fan grill facing up or down?

If you face it with fan grill facing down this will draw fresh air inane discharge out the back.

Edit: what psu you using ?

If you put the PSU in with the fan at the bottom it will draw in cool air from underneath the case and the hot air out will come out of the vents at the back.

Just don't put the case on a deep pile carpet and block the vent at the bottom.

FYI your signature is way too big.

What is the signature for?

You may use a signature (commonly used in email messages) in your posts. You can specify in your profile a signature to use at the bottom of your posts. When you post, there is an option to use your signature. A signature may contain one or more images but they must fit within a box with maximum dimensions of 400 x 75 pixels (width x height) and with a maximum (combined) file size of 20k. Images containing mostly very large words or animated .gifs will not be permitted. You may also add 1 consecutive lines of normal or smaller text directly above or underneath the image with no spaces inbetween image and text. If no images are used then up to 4 consecutive lines of normal or smaller text is permitted. Do not pad out your text lines with blanks lines. A line of text is defined as having a maximum length of 400 pixels. If you want to turn the signature off in the future, you can come back and edit your post. If you have specified a signature in your profile, the box will be automatically ticked for you.

The forum Dons/Admins reserve the right to judge individual signatures, particularly those deemed to contain material of an adult or offensive nature. If the Dons/Admins think the signature is unsuitable for a family orientated forum, then it will be removed. If the user then replaces it without making changes, they will be suspended.
