Peter,

If you mount the KPA1500 power supply vertically, put it on the front 
panel and there will be no interference with the air flow.
Note that the LEDs stick out a bit from the front panel, so put the 
large part of the front panel on something that will be as thick or 
thicker than the amount the LEDs project - like a piece of wood or plastic.
