I wasn't trying to offend anyone, and if you have a case with a vent up top, congrats.

My only experience with a top mounted PSU was a shitty pre-built and it had no top ventilation, so I wasn't speaking from vast amounts of knowledge, I was just asked my reasoning and I answered.

OOh ya did not offend anyone i'm sure and hopefully i did not offend you either ..

Maybe some goof ball thought it be a good idea to switch the fan around. Would not surprise me one bit.

Hope ya keep enjoying being at the best tech site.

Hot air rises, so having a top mounted psu will naturally aid convection. Not sure what the real life difference this would make in case thermal dynamics though when using a fan to suck air out from the bottom of case, I'm guessing worse.

I like the case, i think he has done a good job with it to make it look that way.

As for the top vs bottom mounted PSU, newtekie1 said it perfectly, totally agree 100%

This would sell, Blizzard already has Razer selling mice and pads specific for Wow/SC2 why not cases?

Its just personal preference left then.

I don't mind having a Protoss themed case, it would be nice. I would imagine Zerg cases will look cluttered. Terran? Just stick the triangle logo on any HAF cases and you are good to go

A zerg case wouldn't have any mechanical parts, simply throw all the hardware on the creep and it will assamilate/assemble by it self.


A protoss case would use it's dark energy to keep all the parts held together and in place.

Many cases with bottom mount psus have an independent intake for the psu fan on the bottom of the case, so it doesn't affect case flow. Not to mention, they also usually add another fan up top to make up for the missing psu fan.

Thus far, the differences have been completely negligible between the 2 when I have compared. Well within a couple percent, that can account for standard deviation. Certainly not enough difference to make or break a cooling setup, or force you to change settings.

you're totally right there, (i like to switch my psu round so i dont have to worry about cleaning the bottom filter as my rig lives on a carpet)

Real world results are always different... im just going by the laws of physics in saying that hot air rises... ive done no testing etc... and am not the type of overclocker that needs an extra 1c of cooling on my setups

Oh, I wasn't inferring that you meant one way is better than the other. Was just throwing out my experience on the issue.
