    Is there any special reason, lightning363, for placing that PSU on the top?

    Nice Job.
    Question though. What made you place the PowerSupply on the top intead of
    the bottom of the case ?
    As you can see .. the exhaust fan of the PSU is blowing downward on your
    CPU cooler.
    Also if you reposition the psu .. you could get just a touch better wire management. imho.
    Overall though, Outstanding.c.

    I think the case is meant to be top mounted PSU, which personally I prefer considering none of the bloody board manufacturers have followed suit yet and moved the power connectors to the bottom of the boards either >.>

    Nope... I think the case was design for dual PSU mounting possibility... I know, what you mean by wrong place of the power connectors... but there are ways to overcome that... having the PSU as we can see on these pics, is meaning to many hot components in one spot (upper rear)... - not necessary bad though... but having the PSU in the bottom, the overall airflow would be better, also the look of the built would be more equilibrated too...

    Fair point mate, didn't think it might be that...though I don't really know many of the different cases and their details lol

    Think you got it wrong, the PSU fan draws air out of the case & exhaust it at the rear.
    But there´s another downside with this mounting as it draws warm air into the PSU, thus shorten it´s lifespan, especially if you draw lots of power from it.
    Mounting it at the bottom will draw cool air through it from outside the case & as a bonus you could mount a bigger radiator at the top if the need should arise ;-)

    The PSU fan is blowing out, means the fan is sucking air inside to outside. the PSU was on the bottom, but it suck's a lot of dust going to my PSU and i need to clean this constantly.
