What is the PSU orientation for an Antec 300 case?
Well the problem is that I had an old CPU and had to visit a retail store to update my system because I couldn't do it myself. The issue is, I recall the Antec 300 case should be placed on the case and the dissipator should face towards the CPU and GPU, but when I handed it over, they put the PSU dissipator at the ground. My question is, should I move the CPU from the ground to its correct position or is it okay?
When discussing the fan's position relative to the PSU, it's important to note that the Antec Three Hundred doesn't allow ventilation for the PSU when the fan is oriented downward.
i read a question about this topic, and it indeed suggests placing the psu and its ventilation near the cpu, along with other components. it also notes that positioning it downward can be acceptable, though i'm uncertain if that was appropriate in that case. i thought they might have done it similarly, but it seems better to keep the psu on top instead.
i plan to add a photo in the morning for a reason i couldn't sleep, so it will be a bit later today.

that is it
no idea to be honest, but i can try but i don’t usually use hosting sites, can you help me find another that works? i’m asking because i rarely visit other platforms, i barely used imgur or anything similar, even though i logged in again a long time ago and i don’t remember the original one.
@Misgar explains that they rely on a VPN to bypass restrictions. If problems arise, alternative image hosting platforms like Imgur can be used.
@Davidrpg suggests using DropBox or Google Drive links, but recommends making the images public. They also ask for more images of the case, including views from the front and with the side panel removed, and to capture a photo of the bottom of the case for verification.
PSU needs to be placed inside the Antec 300 enclosure with the fan pointing upwards, away from the motherboard or CPU. Because the case lacks a bottom vent and doesn't have feet to raise it, the PSU cannot be installed with the fan facing downwards.
