Should I have the case window fan mounted sucking air into or blowing air out of the case? The fan placement is in the lower half of the window. Thanks.

It's usually recommended you blow in. If it's in the lower half it will give cool air to your video card.

But if you want whatever is best - try it both ways and watch your temperatures.
