I'm rebuilding my PC and I was stuck on finding out if this PSU fits on top or on bottom because the picture on newegg shows on top but when I google it I see it on the bottom.

Would this fit in my Case ????????????

hec X-Power Pro 650 650W:

Would this setup fit nice??

I have a coolermaster cavalier 3 Case

with a ASRock K10N780SLIX3-WiFi MOBO ( About to Get)

2 Kingston 4GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM ( About to Get)

I'm using my old Radeon HD 4670 IceQ (Money Wise)

Hopefully hec X-Power Pro 650 (If it fits on Top) ???

It goes on top, but I would not recommend getting that PSU.
Here's a much better one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817371015

That PSU can be mounted on top.
Why do you think otherwise?

I ask because I see the fan on top and if you put that on top it would block the fan unless you put it upside down.

I mean the big fan on top. But if this fan will work on top then I will definitely get it. I just figured that if there is a fan on top of the psu then it belongs on the bottom. But I guess that's not the case here.

Yes, the fan goes down when the power supply is mounted on top.
