depends on your cooling situation already going on in the case. In most instances, facing the psu down will help it stay cooler by not sucking in already hot air thats in the case. If you don't have a lot of cooling at the bottom of your motherboard, it could help the lower slot components dissipate heat better if the fan is facing up, but it will make your psu run hotter and less efficiently. However, if you have your case on the floor and the fan is facing down, it may want to act like a vacuum cleaner. It's a trade off either way.

Right..the most important thing to realize is that fan inside the case is an intake fan...not an exhaust fan. I know some people might not realize the power supply sucks air from inside and then exhausts it out the rear.
__________________So if you have a fan on the bottom(or top, depending on how you orient the supply) that is the intake fan. My power supply has a fan at the front and back so I don't have to worry about that.

Most power supplies these days are designed to be quiet solutions anyway, so the amount of air they could exhaust from the lower (and by definition cooler) part of the case is trivial compared to a psu working at optimum potential. A good overclock always starts with the psu, so adding more heat isn't really a great idea.

as an example for some people. gointo explain my case setup. psu fan face down sucking air up and out (case on desk). 120 mm fan on side panel exhausting heat from lower mobo, video cards. 120mm intaking on bottom of case pushong air up. two 120mm on front ( stock spot and 5.25" bay intaking air. 2 exhaust 120mm on top and 1 on rear exhaust.. general idea.. front/bottom in.. rest out..
what u guys think?? good circulation?? maybe complete fail? haha

lol i wish theres some "vision-type" device that can see airflow.. i wanna see how mine is doing XD
i tried intake and exhaust on side panel. i thought.. intake.. fan on video cards removing heat from cards.. so if intake.. blowing the heated air back at it.. exhaust.. fan on video cards remove heat.. fan help exhaust it faster.. maybe help. rofl.. but thats my idea >_>

I think I'm going to spray my case black this week or next (just the inside) so can anyone recommend what type of spray I should use? Also does anyone know how to remove the blue PCI clips so they don't get sprayed too?

paint for metals of course. always use primer first. you can remove the blue pci clips by pulling the metal pin out. u should see the top of it if u look close to the top of the clips. use something to move it and and pull it out. the clips will fall as the pin goes out.
probably wouldnt use gloss black for interior. would probably go for matte or satin.
