Your partly right, the most heat is GENERATED in the power supply. That is
probably why they want it exhausted out of the machine! It is better to pull
cooler air over the parts that are more SENSITIVE to heat, then to blow
pre-heated air across them. I would turn the fan around again if it was my
machine.

Just my opinion,
