First thing - this thread should be moved to hardware right??

I reckon the fan should rotate so that it blows cool air into the box forcing the warmer air out of the vents. The actual direction of rotation will depend on which way the blades are set. But this should be easy to test.

If you think it's blowing the wrong way turn the fan around.

Reversing the polarity of the fan may turn the blades in the opposite direction but this could reduce the effciency of the fan or simply damage it electrically.

Where is the fan location? If it is in the front of the case, it should blow in. If it is at the rear, it should blow out.
 
This has been discussed already in another thread right? I recognize the pic.
 
i like my test for fan rotation: power up the system with the fan plugged in but not mounted and feelt the friggin breeze... then point it where ever you want!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
