Maybe I figured that multiple fans blowing INTO the case from different angles would be a good thing -- that the hot air would find somewhere to escape on its own. Also, the power wire would not have reached with the fan turned the other way -- but a power Y-cable solved that... ...with some difficulty (screws were stripped), I've reversed the fan. So far so good -- it seems a lot cooler in there! I'm wondering if I should remove the plastic coverings on each of the front bays that have hard drives in them -- will that help keep the insides cooler?
