okay, so i took my computer apart to give everything a good clean (suctioned out all the dust, cleaned goof of fans, etc) and upon putting everything back in its proper place, i realized a problem: I forgot to take note which direction the large fan in the back of the PC tower is supposed to be (air blows IN or OUT of the computer?). If it helps, I have a PowerSpec with an Athlon processor.

It seems to be running fine, but i'd like to make sure, and i cant find anything on the net.

thanks.
 
Pretty sure it runs IN. How else would it cool the computer? :confused:
 
How about you not take everything apart next time?
 
okay, the most simple answer ur'll get since everyone is a smart ass
the fan blows the air into the computer.
 
And what the hell's a ur'll? :confused: :o
