Budget PSU help for Haswell Processor?

[Shivam15]

Congrats though an original snapshot would have been great

Ok here is the original pic So this Cabinet has holes in the down part for PSU. So, how should I place the PSU in it? Fan facing downwards or upwards? Which one is better?

downwards

downwards

But if fan is facing downward, there will be very less space for it to suck air. Since it will be placed on a level ground. The Cabinet has stands in it. I guess its max 1cm. So the PSU is gonna get only 1 cm space ? Is that fine?

I also agree. Putting the psu in downwards position would surely decrease its life. And would generate more heat.

I would advice you to you and fix it in upward position.

downwards is the way. if you place upwards, the fan will suck hot air from the cabinet which rather does bad than good by increasing temperature of internal components of psu.

i am laughing so hard seeing ur comment.... dude u will understand cable management while u are installing parts and doing attaching the connector

Keep your cabinet on the foam to maintain a distance between the ground and fan.

Cable management sucks in Antec V/X1.

All you can do is put the unused cables on the other side and small in ones in the front. Be sure not to touch the front intake fan.
