Does it make much difference with the PSU fan facing down or up in this case?

I've just got it today. I have seen pictures of some people having the fan facing down, some have it facing up.

On the bottom of the case where the fan would go if you had it facing down there are a few diagonal 'slots' for air to be drawn in by, but nothing like what a fan case has to draw air in.

Just wondering what people who have this case have done with their PSU :)
 
My m8 has this case best facing downwards as there's a bottom fan filter although minimal airflow or u could have it facing upwards although your gpu will steal most of the airflow. Hope this helps
 
It really doesn't matter either way as PSU's don't really get very hot.
I prefer the fans facing up because I'd rather look at the fan than a sticker that's on the other side of most PSU's :p
 
I've always suggested that if you have the case sitting on carpet then this can block the vents or dust filter at the bottom of a case so you may want the PSU fan facing up so it doesn't suck up dust and crud from the carpet. If its on a desk or other solid surface then have it facing downwards.
