Angry Fire PSU problem *Urgent please read*

I started to build my new comp and i was mounting my psu when the screws wernt alliened with the holes. (they are both atx case and psu). So after an hour i tried to put the psu upside down (i know it is upside down becuase all the writting on the power switch side of the psu is upside down and the psu has a arclylic top and that is facing upside down) so the psu fits perfectly and everything is allined. ok here is my question. Is it ok to have my psu upside down if its the only way to fit it to the case that it wont affect the psu? wait, let me rephrase.. Is it ok to have your psu upside down (im positve its upside down) in your case?

It will not hurt anything, a couple of years ago Skyhawk had a series of cases that the PUS mounted upside down and the top was made like an exhaust duct so as to pull air from the front of the case out thru the power supply.

Are you sure it is installed upside down: Here is how to tell.

On the top of the computer case, is there four round or square rubber or soft plastic things?

Are you wiondering why they sent case with a two tone color scheme where one color is dull finish silver?

In order to open your CD Drive, do you have to move stuff on your desktop out of the way or does the cd-drawer get stuck dragging the carpet.

Does you monitor, speakers, and modem/nic cable plug into the top back of your computer, while the mouse and keyboard plugs into the bottom section?
