    yeah, the blade scoop, but that amounts to maybe a 10% difference in airflow, if that much even... it will still flow air in both directions no problem even though it may be optimized for one direction or the other...

    Hmmm, damn. Does anyone know if they make 'blower' style fans that suck in instead of blow out?

    I don't know that they make fans that suck vs blow, however you can just reverse the blade. I had to do this when I installed liquid cooling in my PC at home. It was a fairly simple operation I just unscrewed the fan and cover on the radiator flipped it and screwed it back on.

    If this is your case fan and there is place to screw it in on the outside you could just mount it backwards on the outside.

    Air cooling sucks anyway use liquid cooling. That's what I use, so efficient and cool.........................
