Both directions have advantages and disadvantages.
Pushing air into the PS:
Advantages: Draws relatively cool (outside) air over the cards.
Disadvantages: Draws air through biggest hole (floppy drives)
depositing dust over drives and maybe the cards too.
Pushing air out of the PS:
Advantages: Allows one to filter the air going into the PS via the
back of the computer.
Disadvantages: Air that first goes though PS is warmed so the cards
don't get as much cooling effect.
Thanks for all the responses!

Just how much can $1,000,000,000 buy nowadays?
o Pay a full year's tuition for 62,500 students at private colleges.
o Feed 550,000 homeless people for 1 year.
o Purchase 400,000 personal computers for inner-city schools.
o According to Dick Cheney, it's the cost *per day* of a war in Kuwait.
(Of course, not counting the tens of thousands of human lives...)
