power supply goes sideways? what the?

Exactly my thoughts. It appears to be over where the CPU socket on most motherboards will be. That'll put a severe limit on the height of any coolers you can use. Not too clever Lian Li.

A typical muddled case from the modern Lian Li - the 140mm fan up front is nice but the 120mm up top is likely to vibrate / resonate just like the old 80mm top fan in my PC60 did (which is why it was never connected). Add to that the restriction in CPU heatsink size caused by the PSU orientation and it makes it a bit of an odd choice - an expensive case with compromised cooling, a ‘short’ case (by Lian Li standards) but still very deep (as almost all Lian Li cases are).

I'm liking the I/o panel and power switch on the ‘roof’

You've got to be able to put in the PSU in the standard orientation as well.. would kill PSU cooling otherwise.

If so, then all you need is some foam for the intakes to reduce noise/dust and it's a nice case.
