ive just brought a antec 430W power supply, and i didnt realise that it has a fan on the top of the supply aswell. now my tower hasnt got a hole on the top of the tower for the fan to come out so i turned it facing the inside of the computer. now ive only had it in for a few days and at the top of my tower its very hot, and its worrying me. should i have it pointing to the top of my tower or inside, and do u no if its blowing out or sucking in

mant thanks

RyDan

There is no fan on the top.

The fan should be on the bottom ... and they usually suck air.

A lot of cases will feel hot there, the PSU generates it's own heat.
