Okay guys here's my problem:
Normally I wouldn't even have to ask this question, because it's stupid. However, it's a problem for me nonetheless. I bought this case from Newegg, and I'm very impressed, except for one small factor. The power supply cutout on the rear. Here is an example pic:
My problem lies here with the cutout. I bought an Antec 350W PSU, which has the two fans on it. One on the back, and one on the bottom. What I've always done is place this fan on the bottom (facing the inside of the case) to pull air up and out through the PSU. However, with the way the cutout is on the back of the case, the only way to mount the PSU is with the fan facing the top of the case. Now my question:
Is this a problem? Can I leave it like that? Will it hurt the PSU? Because obviously there is no way I can reverse the fan on the PSU. So right now the fan is facing the top of the case. I could slightly modify the back of the case to fit the PSU facing the other way, but this is a last resort, because I must say the case is of a very sturdy design and material, and cutting would be a hassle, however doable.
So, what would be your recommendation?? Thanks guys.
