When setup as illustrated in the photos is it blowing the up toward the computer on top of it, or blowing the air down?

Blows air up, under laptop. And it is quite, u will not even know it's there

me too I am wondering if the computer should be adjusted since more air might change the mixture?

It sucks air in from the sides and blows it out the top. I keep mine about a foot from the wall.

Yes, that's true. However, the air flow from the fans is very low and hardly noticeable, whether blowing out, blowing in, or doing both.

I've had mine for about 6 months. The 2 fans blow directly up onto laptop and you can feel, depending on speed, the air dispersed to sides. Blue lights are quite bright. The remind me of the underlights on cars these days. ; p I keep mine on low speed and adjust the height/ angle on the very 1st "rung". I don't game but I do turn it up when grandchildren come over and use it. I have a Presario notebook. It does get very warm which is why I purchased this. If it did breakdown I would get another just like it in a flat second. Cleaning?. I havent tried to take it apart. I blow it out while running on low with canned air. Hope this helps.

Generally, air comes in from the front-bottom, and exits the back-top. The side should bring air in as well.If you pull air out of the case halfway along the airflow path, you kind of mess up the intended flow design for most cases.

Chances are it pushes less air than you're default fan, at least it did for me . I was debating between a new card or new fan, i should have chosen a new card because I've had to buy one anyways

The one I purchased pushes/sucks the air out. In my opinion, this may be the best direction as the CPU heat sink and fan draws/pulls hot air up from the CPU and since this fan would be fixed in close proximity it would be good to have it complete the job by taking that hot air out of the case.

Blow towards the laptop, its just a basic blue light at bottom let you know the fan is on (no range), you take the cover off but I have not done mine yet as my environment I work is is relatively dust free.

its supposed to slop downwards towards you. just make sure the vents can suck in the air from the thermaltake

Sloping downward toward you is the correct position. You don't need to worry about location of vents on your laptop if there are some tiny vents beneath your laptop covering the HDD and RAM unit. As long as air can flow through these areas your laptop will be cool.

There is plenty of airflow coming up from the bottom. This is not an issue.

Computers are designed to sit on flat surfaces. The pad lies very flat. I would consider how my computer is vented.

It is on the bottom, which holds the laptop off whatever it is setting on. Seems to me that would promote better air flow!

Its a fan man lol. Has 3 settings to blow. If you want it to suck I suppose you can just turn it around to face the other way.

negative. well. perhaps if you turn all the so that they blow air into the case it would be a positive pressure. I run the fans on the front pulling in air and the top fan and back fan so that they force the air out and my power supply sucks air in from the base and out the back independent of the case ventilation.I have two fans I planned on adding to the bottom forcing air into the case.at this point the motherboard temp cpu and memory are staying cool. I have have sabertooth mb that has thermal controls for the fan.

It pushes A LOT of air. I think that is also why its a bit louder than some silent fans. But after awhile, you really wont even notice it.
