Hi folks, like to check which shop would you all recommend for DIY PC at Sim Lim Sq these days.

Any reasonable, reliable shop ?

Thank you.

Upside down with fan at bottom looks like the correct way to install leh?

Lol no that video doesn't indicate it shoudl be upside down.

And that PSU fan orientation in drawing air inwards not outwards.

Bottom mount PSU is there to give it dedicated cool air flow.

With fan facing down and power cord facing to the right, the word should be upside down right ?

Try to watch the video again and try to catch the orientation. I don't think Seasonic print their PSU multiple different ways.

If all else fails, ask Mr Wataru or Corbell admin who builds with Seasonic psu everyday to come in and verify.

I have the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold in a Meshify C. I can confirm the image above is the correct way to position the PSU. Just make sure your case has vent underneath to draw air into the PSU, and out to the rear.

In this position,
From the rear (where you plug power into PSU), the seasonic logo would be upright.
From the glass panel front, the seasonic logo would be upright.
From the back (where messy cables are), the seasonic logo would be upside down.
