I ask because the Zalman PSU has a fan mounted on the top of the unit, while the P180 has the PSU mounted on the bottom and there is no room for the air to circulate out from the top or bottom .

I have my ZALMAN 750W in my Silverstone case and its on the bottom with the fan facing downward blowing out the bottom. Seems to be ok with me..

Does that case have room for air to blow out or is it a tight fit? Looks like a tight fit on the antec.

Is there a vent on the bottom at all?

Mine has a area where it can blow the air out with a dust cover over it..

There is a small vent down there (but not the size of 120mm fan), but you can rotate the PSU so it's fan faces upwards.

I have a p182 and my psu is a tight fit, i'm using a silverstone 750 watt, it's good thing that the fan on my psu is all the way at the back. I would not recommend a power supply with the fan at the bottom or the top...

So it won't work? So can anyone recommend a good PSU? Requirements: 400-600 watts, and quiet.
