    Umm.. are you sure the fan isn't on the back and the bottom? Most will have a fan on the bottom to pull air in from the CPU and push it out the back. And while that is good for your CPU and general heat managment... it's not so great for the PSU.

    Bugger, didn't think of that. In the pic, the fan is on the top and I've seen cases with fan holes on the top so I put 2 and 2 together and made... 5, it seems.

    Anyway, I've ordered one with only one fan, now, to be sure...
