Hey, so i have a question. My case is the Zalman Z9 U3 and the advertisement for it says i can place the PSU on the bottom and it has grill son the bottom for air. My PSU's (EVGA 500W 80+) manual said if the case has air ventilation on the bottom to put the PSU with the fan facing down. So I don't know if i can do it with the Z9 U3 and I'm really confused about that. Help me please :)

If the case has the air grill on the bottom, then absolutely. Just make sure where you set your case, that you have clearance underneath it for air to flow into the PSU though. I toasted a 700w OCZ Psu because there wasn't enough air flow to the bottom of the case.
