Can I mount my PSU fan down?

I have mine with the fan facing up and I think Antec recommend for it to be installed this way. I think you can install it the other way around but I would have thought the PSU fan will have to work much harder as a result given the limited space beneath it.

I installed one for a friend with the fan upside down. There's plenty of room there for the PSU fan to get air, just make sure you don't clog the front of it up with a mess of cables.

I used the 600w version in my Antec 300 and had it fan down, ran fine. Switched to the Fractal Design case for neater looks, temps have risen by 5 degrees or so, but still happy.
