Will this get in the way of vents on the bottom of a computer case where the power supply fan is?

Yes, it would, as the base does not have vent holes and the computer sits flat on the stand. My computer, also a Dell, does not have vent holes on the bottom, only on the sides and the main fan vent on the back. My vents on the side line up with the holes in the stand no problem, and of course the rear fan is not obstructed at all. I have absolutely no concerns about ventilation on my computer case.

It doesn't bother my computer tower, the stand doesn't go there entire length of the tower and the sides are slotted.

I have Dell computers. There are no vents in the bottom of the case. The stand has vents on the side and only covers the center area of the computer. They are very sturdy and I have no issues with them.

My fan is in the back of my computer tower too - so I am unfamiliar with a vent or fan that may on the bottom.Sorry, I could not be more helpful.

I use it with a Dell tower - fan is in the back. Not sure about a fan/vent on the bottom.

Yes. However if your doing a push/pull config you will not be able to put the bottom rear fan on due to it overlapping the CPU power plugin.

It will work very well because the Cooler Master NotePal material is a kind of mesh that allows air to go through. So once the vent is anywhere on the bottom of the laptop it was work pretty well.

Sure, but face the volt display up top and the four fans on the bottom because heat tend to rise to the top....good luck...VU

it depends on the design of your laptop cooling system. you have to make sure you don't block the cooling vents.

It may fix. I got a 750w 80 plus gold and I had to cut one of the hard drive bay to make it fit. The case is very practical in space and good looking. For fans, get the noctua fans or better. Watch for how big the heatsick is. I can't overstate about planning to manage the space and cables on this case.

You have to measure the case location where you want to put the fan. But in most situations, there should be no problems installling a new fan

No, unless you have it on a flat surface on your lap. The fans are not covered so any soft/uneven surface will hit the fans.

It should, especially if you do not mount a side fan. The case has a particularly wide clearance because its side panels flare out. It probably has more clearance than most.I installed a Hyper 212 EVO in one.

I don't see why not as long as you have mounting space. We added it in a fairly small hp case, and we mounted it to the side of the case over the perforated vents. Yes, we had to drill 4 holes, but in the end the fan is working to provide some extra cooling.

no. the fan pulls in from the ground and blows out the back. the psu is simply upside down.

If I recall correctly I could bottom mount it with the intake fan up or down so I would assume there would be no problems with top mounting it. Though if you mounted it with the intake fan pointing down you would be pulling hot air from inside the case so it is not preferable but it would probably work fine as a lot of proprietary pc's do that.

It is designed so it doesn't block the vents. My laptop doesn't get any hitter than it does without the case.

I have a case fan opposite my cpu and that still leaves about 3 iniches clearance. Make sure there is nothing on your motherboard that will interfere.

The type of CPU heat sink/fan used in this case should have the fan blow into the heat sink and not away from it. The nice thing about this case is that is is very well ventilated and heat can not build up inside of it. Try not to install the hard drive over the CPU fan if you can.

Depends on where on the mother board the cpu is. There are mounts along back of case for reservoir/tank/fan, but they may interfere with peripheral port access

You can pu the PSU fan up or down. Fan up will cause it to intake air from near your gpu and that will cool gpu while increasing PSU temps. Fan down will make it intake air from outside of case through the bottum vent and make PSU run cooler.
