Please enlighten us.

same internals , I took a baseball bat to this case cause I hated it.

Why would you hate that case? It's actually not bad if you know what it offers. I mean really, the damn thing even has a removable motherboard tray and what did it cost? $20-$30? I actually have a Gigabyte board and Q9450 still running in one of those cases.

All in all, I'm not convinced yet that mounting the PSU on the bottom actually changes the temperature by much, even more so if you have sufficient airflow. I guess it also makes it a little top heavy but nothing that would make the case "easy to tip over."

Yeah...heat rises so a bottom mounted PSU is going to give off radiant heat that will bother the rest of the internal components. Unless of course the cooling of the PSU is that good where it doesn't allow for that but I don't think that's even possible. Hell, in these smaller cases like this I'd probably even consider a passive cooled PSU.

All of these, I don't think he really knows what he's talking about.
