I'm planning a new build and want to get the following case:

Antec Mini P180 (link)

With that I want to get a nice black PSU to fit with the interior of the case and found the OCZ StealthXStream (link) to be nice and affordable but one issue..

If you are familiar with the P180 cases, they use a 2 chamber design. Can you fit the OCZ power supply in the case due to the fan being on the top/bottom (can't really work out how it'll sit in the case) instead of the fan being at the sides.
 
I seen a few pics of people using the Corsair units in these cases and just decided to go for a Corsair 450W VX, even though it does have the same issue of the fan placement. Someone feel free to reassure me it's going to work! :p
 
You can mount the PSU either way, although you want to mount it in a way that allows the cooling fan to pull in as much air as possible and not be blocked.

Also the Corsair 450VX is a much better quality unit than the OCZ StealthXtreme, so you made a good choice.
