What exactly are the pros and cons to top-mounting and bottom-mounting your PSU?
I've been seeing a lot of cases lately where PSUs are mounted at the bottom of the case, and been kind of wondering why one would want to do that.
Personally, I've always top-mounted mine because for one thing, it's what I'm used to doing. Growing up I never saw a case that didn't have a PSU that was mounted at the top, and to me it seems to make logical sense to mount it there since warm/hot air rises.
