Of course, the only computer component that is affected by orientation is the DVD drive and that's only because the discs might fall out. I know several people with standard desktops that they keep laying on their side to fit in the space the have for it.

I have the 540 AIR.
Yes, it is a nice case (mostly).
The PSU does not care if it is on its side.

When/if you get that case...look at the bottom.
Find some way to cover those 4 big holes in the bottom. Either tape them off, or get a filter for that space.
Corsair, in their infinite bean counter mindset, failed to include a $2 filter for that space.

I bought a SilverTek filter of that same size, held on with sticky Velcro, to cover that space.
Otherwise, it is just a dust sucking hole.
