I have mine with the fan facing up and I think Antec recommend for it to be installed this way. I think you can install it the other way around but I would have thought the PSU fan will have to work much harder as a result given the limited space beneath it.
I used to have mine facing down had not problems (not using ur case though) but there was about 5mm of space for air to flow under it new psu is too big now
I installed one for a friend with the fan upside down. There's plenty of room there for the PSU fan to get air, just make sure you don't clog the front of it up with a mess of cables.
I used the 600w version in my Antec 300 and had it fan down, ran fine. Switched to the Fractal Design case for neater looks, temps have risen by 5 degrees or so, but still happy.
