Upside down Corsair 620 in an Antec 900, dust collector?

The fan on my new corsair HX620 is on the bottom of the power supply. The Antec 900 case puts the power supply on the bottom of the case. So the fan wouldn't be able to draw any air unless I put the PS in upside down.

The thing is, I live in a dusty house and the PS fan (which would then be facing up) draws air in and I'm worried it's going to turn my PS be a big dust collector.

I suppose I could cut holes in the bottom of the case, and install it right side up. But before I go that route, I like to know if anyone else ran into this and if your PS got clogged up with dust?
 
It draws like <1 CFM so it'll be dust that would be falling into your PSU imo.

:burn:
 
Actually, you won't be putting it in upside down, the PSU bracket in the 900 turns it over.

Also, I have had no noticeable problem with my 900 and Seasonic S12.
edit: Why did I put M12 instead of S12? XD Silly me.
