If you need the PSU to ventilate your case then your case is poorly
designed. Also, using the video card and CPU heated air on the inside of
your case to cool your PSU might have been alright back in the day but is
hardly efficient now a days with the amount of heat those 2 components
produce. SLI/Crossfire'd GPU's dump even more heat inside your case.
Bottom mounted PSU's are cooled completely by ambient air and don't
contribute 1 calory of energy to the inside of your case. Case (pun
intended) closed. LOL

Me too, what was the logic of putting the PSU at the bottom of the
case?
Are there PSU's available with fans on the top?
