Radiator placement problem

Hi guys, I'm sorry to bother you all but I have an issue I'm hoping you can help me with.

Building my dream of up, I wanted something different looking so I ordered the Big Chungus case, I read the description saying it can house 2x360mm radiators, but I didn't see the bit where it mentions front and bottom only.

I don't want to put it on the front as I like the fans that are already there, so I'm left with the bottom, however, the PSU covers half of the hole where air would be pushed out, so what exactly is the point of even having the option to put it there? Is that going to make a huge difference to temperatures if it goes there?

Thanks

If the 360 goes above the PSU, could you have the PSU pointing upwards, pulling air thru that end of the rad?

Gotta say, that case is hideously impractical

Thanks for the reply, you mean the PSU fan pointing upwards? I see what you mean, I was just concerned once the air had blown through the radiator grills then won't that make it really warm and cause issues with the PSU?

I love the case, as you say it's not practical, but I've always wanted something like this but could never afford it, so it's kind of a realising a dream thing

the air coming out of the rad is unlikely to be that warm but of course it will depend on the elements you are cooling.
