Normal
The way I positioned the PSU in the prototype was with the PSU intake fan facing upward against the top vent opening, this seemed to work particularly well for keeping the PSU cool and the fan off, it also takes it out the heat circulation equation.The positive pressure is then forced to exhaust mainly around the GPU vents, which also helped to keep the graphics card cooler/quieter.I will have a play around with trying to fit a 140mm fan without adding any/much volume. Can't promise it will be possible though.Ha, yes this is very true. Something that costs 99p sound cheaper than 1 pound.The lower profile case is 5.9litres (for GPUs without upward facing PEG connectors), whereas the full height version is just under 7 litres. See that sounds much bigger than 6.9litres!There are some good slim 120 and 140mm fans. So maybe it is best to stick to 15mm thickness compatibility and save those precious ml.
