I would not recommend this for a few reasons.

One is the heat, even with the fan running you still get a fair bit of
heat and with the power supply upside down the heat will go straight
back into the board.

The other is the components themselves, especially with cheaper power
supplies the heat generated and going straight back into the boards
could cause components to come loose or cause dry joints etc.
