Actually, it doesn't matter (with one exception) whether hot and
neutral are reversed between the wall and your ps. The hot and
neutral just go to either end of the transformer primary - there are
no polarity issues. What's important is that the ground wire goes to
the chassis of your power supply.
There is an issue if you have your AC line fused. You want the fuse
on the hot side if possible.

It sounds like you're talking about house wiring. I'm talking about
the AC portion of a power supply.
