- The fan is probably near the power supply. If you reverse the fan dirrectionso that it blows into the computer, then you will be warming up the whole
- inside of your machine with heat from the power supply. It is probably
- better to leave it is it was designed, that is, blowing out of the machine.
- I'm sure the dirrection was considered durring design. My IIci blows out.
