PSU Quesion

Ok this may seem like a really stupid question but i ordered a BeQuiet Pure Power L7 530W PSU.

The fan is at the top of the PSU so does it matter if i flip the fan to the bottom; upside down? Because my case hasn't got a air vent at the top of where the PSU is.

You can put the unit either way, it doesn't matter where the fan is.

Alright thanks! I know it's a stupid question but i've never had to deal with PSU's before.

it will work either way, remember that the psu needs clearance, but also better to vent out of the case

Its not a stupid question at all. By turning the PSU over with the fan side down, you'll effectively be sucking in and extracting air from your case, across your PSU components, and out through the mesh that you can see in the picture.

Thats a very good PSU for the money, too, btw.
