I can't seem to decide whether or not I should have my PSU facing up or down in this case. It has a bottom grill for airflow to the PSU, but I am worried that that might not be enough. The pictures speak better though (sorry for the terrible quality, my ditital camera is MIA):

With the PSU in the case, facing up:
My whole case so far, to give an idea of the airflow:
I put my graphics card that low in order to maximize the effect of the special fan next to it, and I have yet to install my sound card. My PSU is 850 watts, and delivers teh 70 amps it promised at 50C (which is what I hope it stays around).
So, should I face the PSU fan down towards the grating, or up towards the graphics card?
