Well nothing says you have to screw it to the case.

Have you looked on ebay for your psu, there are plenty on there

You can put your psu whereever you want. the only reason it's inside the case is that it is unsightly outside and not very Aesthetic

Agreed the computer will work fine with the psu outside the case till you find a new one or a way to mount it, just make sure when passing by you don't hook a wirer and give it a pull.

I currently have a new build with all hardware attached running on my test bench for sometime now because I haven't decided on the case I want yet

Yeah it can be dangerous though because of the high ac wattage comming off the son of a @#%^. Just be careful i would not like to see you spill ur drink on it and end up dead.
