Mounting the PSU

Silly question, haven't put together a computer in a while.

Is this the correct way to mount the PSU with vent on the inside the case like pictured here?

Or do I need to flip it around?

It's a littl eweird because the case has the PSU on the bottom so I wasn't sure if the fan needs be facing toward the floor (doesn't seem like there is much clearance between the floor and the bottom of the case to suck the air in) or towards the inside of the case like I have it now.

Thanks!
 
It's fine. There are reasons to mount it the other way but I have mounted it both ways and never had a problem.

Hmmm, is that a nexus case? I have the same I think and my psi is mounted that way.
 
I've always mounted mine like that, unless I have a case with a vent/filter on the bottom.

word of advice: with the fan facing up, it's easy to drop a screw down there when fiddling with hardware. I did that once. I highly recommend taping a piece of paper over the fan hole before tinkering.
edit: and dear god, please manage those cables!:)
