Placement there allows the PSU to draw cool air from the bottom of the case and exhaust it out the back. This case will also allow fans to be placed above the I/O panel (ATX plate) to assist with airflow. Seems a fairly well thought out way to maintain a low profile case that supports full height GPUs.

I thought the psu fan sucked the heat out & exhausted it.

They can in some layouts. This can often interfere with airflow around CPUs and their heatsinks (depending on fan orientation and size). This design seems to take that out of play and helps keep the PSU cooler (and quieter).

Hmmm, do you have to buy them that way or are new ones just like that?
