Do the lights even show on the inside of the case? I'm not going to be turning my case 180 degrees to show that I have some lights, lol. Are there holes on the back on the PSU so it shows lights inside the case or something? Or are the fans towards the inside of the case, even though that would be completely pointless because you blow heat inside the case like that instead of blowing it outside.

Some PSU's have 2 fans, one to suck up air inside the case into the unit, and the other to blow out hot air out the back.

There could be a possibility that the fan that sucks the air up could blow out the back.

I have an Antec TrueBlue480 and the lights reflect light into the case a bit. The one on the back is visible from the back if viewed that way. My 2 Antec lighted case fans drown out the one from the PS, then so does my CCN. BTW The fans in the PS pull heat from inside the case.
