Power supply mount upsidedown or not

[quad]

My case is an antec 300 and with a bottom mount power supply.

I have (only) about 1/2 inch of space for the fan to draw air in from the bottom.

Think this is enough or should I mount it upside down?

you should mount it upside down.

also read the case manual it tells you how you should mount your powersupply.

If you mounted it upside-down you would be blocking the air intake for the PSU?

I dremeled out a hole underneath my power supply.

good idea but not everyone has the resources for that.

how is your comp setup? cause it still seems like you'd only have an inch or 2 of breathing room for that psu

It's on a cold hardwood floor and has about 1 1/2" clearance to the floor. I have had no issues at all and the air coming out the back is room temperature

hardwood floor plus intake equals LOTS of dust in your powersupply jsut mount it upside down if you ever take anythign out of your case when you are installing jsut be sure to cover the opening of the fan

I give my computer a good cleaning every month so dust is not an issue.
