- It is best to create a positive pressure enclosure. Thus, have the fan
- pulling air in, no blowing it out. That way you can put a filter on
- the fan which will keep the inside of the computer cleaner. Having the
- fan blowing air out makes it pull in air from mainly the floppy
- drive(s). This can cause dust build-up on the heads and mechanisms.
