Rosewill challenger case and Corsair power supply

[ZForce915]

I purchased the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W power supply to go in my Rosewill Challenger case. Because of the bottom mounted power supply of that case it seemed to just make sense to turn the power supply upside down when installing it.

Does anyone see an issue with that?

Nope i have my HX750 install upside down in my 902.
Been over 1yr and no issues i even checked it(removed it/looked) last week and all was fine.
The said can't be same about my OZC ModXtreme installed the same way in a CM690II which has a psu cut-out and filter.
What a mess! clogged with dust and debris.
Everything is fine with the OZC but i wasn't expected to knit a sweater since the Corsair had no dust build-up at all and was installed 4 months longer.

The PSU will work either way as long as it can intake air properly on the fan side.

It looks just like the first picture in that link to Newegg. The opening has plenty of room to intake and will blow upwards and out the top of the case, the video card will get in the way and hopefully it doesn't increase the temperature of that too much.

Actually the fan on a PSU is an intake for the PSU, not an exhaust so it will be sucking air in from the case and blowing it out the back of the case so it wont increase the temperature of the GPU since it will actually draw more cool air in from the front of the case, not blow hot air at the GPU.
