Exactly. You want the fan on the correct surface so it doesn't wind up pressed against a neighboring component that blocks off the airflow. You want the outlet and any switches to be lined up with the holes in your case, although you can cut holes into your case as needed.

I seem to remember paying $70 for mine. Your $45 is a better deal if it fits. But for me, paying an extra $25 to open the box before purchase and be certain it will work and will only require one trip to the store is not anything to look down your nose at. YMMV
