I would think you'd want the air blowing out the back.

Heat rises, it's best to have it blowing up when you have top fans, which your case does.

I think ether way is fine but you may get better air flow up through the top.

 

[Icejon]

I think you can mount it either way.

Probably best to have it blowing upwards.

Natural convection is completely negligible in a forced-air environment like a PC case.
