Its pretty hard to tell from the pictures on the website. Try to get a standard case that accepts a standard PSU, it will save you alot of grieve when you upgrade later.

Looking at it I would say that you will need longer cables since the PSU is at the bottom of the case, it won't cost much to buy them anyway.

What's the benefits of having the PSU at the bottom of a case?

I'd prefer to have my PSU on the top of my case, heat rises, so the heat from the PSU will rise up into your system contributing to the heat your CPU and other peripherals make.

I have my PSU in the top of my case, as do many other people.

That's a good point you have there elitehacker!
It would, in theory make your whole computer hotter.

The cable length should be fine, I have that case, which is excellent BTW.

May I suggest this PSU, whats nice about it is that you only use the cables you need, the ones you don't use you do not have to attach, which merely consists of plugging them in.

I have the 500 watt version, it is great, quite and efficient.

Eliminates the top heavy computer, also it allows better CPU and video card cooling.

That's why the case is divided into 2 separate chambers, the heat from the PSU is directly blown out by the 120mm fan positioned right behind it.

Not in the P180B, having two 120mm fans right next to your CPU heatsink works wonders.
