Yeah... True, I agree it's kinda weird. I like it though, I feel like it makes cable management easier. Since you have the space to put the grommet below the motherboard for the cables to pass through, unlike if it was on top.

PSU fans don't blow air into the case. The fans suck in cool air and it goes out the back. That is how it works on my Silent pro, anyways.

Top or bottom mount, the PSU will almost always intake air from the bottom. Bottom mount PSUs are better because the pull air from the outside rather than warm case air.

Looks like you get a new PS Kraker. Just PM me your shipping info and I'll send you my paypal info and tracking info. Should get it out some time this week.

Ok, I need to know for sure if its top or bottom, my case is for a top? Will it work?

Let me rephrase, my case mounts the ps on top with the fan facing down

This may or may not help:
Newegg.com - Thermaltake Toughpower Grand TPG-1050M 1050W ATX 12V v2.3 & SSI EPS 12V v2.92 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Active PFC Power Supply

It looks as though it mounts at the top, with the fan facing up.

Hmmm, could I just flip it upside down?

I believe this would be fine for you. DOnt qoute me but i was looking through it and doesnt seem like much issue mounting it either way

From everything I have read on PSUs it does not seem to matter which way you mount it as long as the fan has room to pull air. Some bottom mounted cases have openings in the bottom for the fan to pull air from under the case. Others do not and from the other forums I have read, the builders just simply flip the fan to face up towards the motherboard. I would say that a top mount should work in the same manner. If you have space or room above the PSU to draw air then install it with the fan up. If not flip it and let it draw air from below (granted I have only built one pc with the help of TPG tech wizards). What case do you have Kraker?
