Does anyone own one of these? I got one w/o power supply and it turns out the PS have to be mounted upside down. The power switch is on the right side instead of the left. This make the 2nd built-in fan facing upward and blocked by the case. Will this affect cooling of my case? Or I need to get an PS with the 2nd attached to the other end instead of being put inside?

No one has a Skyhawk aluminum case here? I think it's the way they design the case for this brand only. Maybe they also made power supplies to go with it.

What is the case model? What power switch are you referring to? If you didn't get a PS, then there should only be an empty hole in the rear of the case. I guess I am slightly confused with your explanation. Having said that...
You could always add an additional case fan or two, it is a cheap solution. You can never have "too much" case cooling. Personally, I would be more concerned about the power supply with having one of the fans fan blocked.

The screw holes are positioned differently so to have them lined up with those on the PS I have to turn it up side down. So the 2nd built-in fan instead of facing down sucking air out from underneath is now pointing up about an inch below the top of the case. I think it's the way some Skyhawk cases are designed to be used with their own brand PS. I have to look for a PS with a 2nd fan attached outside at the other end instead of being inside the housing or I just go with single fan PS. This case also lacks pull-out tray. It has all the nice lighting in front though. It's the old Neptune series. Not a good idea to buy computer cases online, you don't get to check out how it actually is. I bought it from Electroseller.com They have lots of nice aluminum cases there.
