Is it better to install it in the bottom or top?

I'm thinking in the bottom would make the wires easier to deal with.

What do you think? :)

:clap: Outside, on top of the case

I think thats a personal preference. I like mine on the bottom too as it does make it a bit easier for my wire management
 
Outside on top of the case wasn't highlighted with blue lines by yours truly :p

:D

Any pics of yours installed and how the wiring is? :)
 
I put my PSU on the bottom cause I had a Radiator on the top.

I then decided that my PSU (which has a top mounted fan) was a bit noisy so I flipped it over so that it ran through the grill. I was afraid this was to restrictive, so I cut back the grill to the edge of the PSU.

Now my PSU gets fresh air, and is silent, since it is close to the carpet.

Of course I put on larger non-lockable wheels to this case. So their is allot of clearance to pull air in.
