*Facepalm

Yes, and my PSU is mounted at the top of my case, and according to Klaustrophobia most modern PSU's vent into the case (and directly onto my CPU heat sink) instead of exhausting out the rear.  Is he wrong?

the whole atx standard says the power supply is supposed to blow out the back. if your psu doesnt, then its not following the specs very well. granted the atx form factor is a dinosaur in dire need for being replaced by something less old.

apparently in-blowing power supplies are a fall back to the days when cpus were passively cooled (486, early pentiums). the standards were changed after that.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Okay, good, that argument's over.  Now everyone knows all modern ATX PSU's exhaust out the rear, and that's made things a lot simpler for me.

there are a fair few PSUs on sale at newegg today.  don't know what your budget is, but there were some really high quality ones at $80-100

Well, as I said earlier, I'm not actually buying.  I'm relying on my tech-illiterate mother to get it for me as a Christmas present (yes, I know I'm doomed).

I'll probably get cash in addition to this, and I did give her a direct link to a 600W Corsair on Newegg with specific instructions to buy that one so I think I'm fine.  Hopefully I get cash from Christmas and my birthday in January so I can purchase one of those $200+ video cards I've heard so much about but could never afford.
