In the system I just put together, the power supply fan is blowing out near
the top (Aopen case).  I also have a case fan blowing INTO the bottom of
the case and two fans blowing OUT OF the top (figured warm air rises).  :-)
 Even when playing an intensive game for hours I haven't yet seen the
motherboards reported temperature go above 30 C.
