Oh yes.
Many fans have an arrow embossed on one of the sides which shows the direction of airflow.
If not, just plug it in and hold it up to your face and you can feel the airflow.
Then mount it the way you want.

On the air flow thing.
Lower front of the case, should have a fan taking air in.
Back of the case, as well as top and sides of the case should have fans blowing out.
As for the bottom, depends on your setup, some people have it both ways.
Virtualbody had a good diagram of the airflow for an ATX motherboard, I need to go look for it.

How much of this advice is based on personal experience and how much is just "common knowlege"?
I would hesitate to make a hard and fast recommendation on such a individually variable subject.

ok, right now i have the psu fan, the hsf, and one case fan blowing air out from the back of the case. its reading 30c at power up, a couple mins later it went up to 32c should this be something i should be worried about? or is that reasonable. btw, i set the system to auto turn off if it past 60c, is that okay?
