Usually in the back, towards the top.
IMPROVED:
Depending on the architecture, it typically goes towards the 'rear' of the computer (recognizeable by the large number of 'ports' for plugs and slots), inside a small bracket at the top. Most cases have a hole cut here for fans on the PSU to vent.
In some unusual case designs such as older LBA boards, and newer Rackmounts, MicroATX, MicroITX, NanoITX, PicoITX, NanoBGA, and similar ultra-small desktops, the power supply may fit on the bottom flat portion of the case, or in the rear bottom.
In some large 'Cube' cases, the PSU is actually an external unit and sets ontop of the case, and feeds cables down into the case.
In laptops, it is usually in the rear or side of the case, located where the power cable connects, but this may vary (such as in Apple computers)

What hardware system do you first assume is at fault?
The obvious answer would be the Power Supply Unit (PSU). This starts the computer and without it nothing can work. On the other hand if you have a faulty mother board or RAM, the computer would switch on but nothing would be shown on the screen. The PSU is found on the highest part of the tower. Also check the the switch (if it has) is switched on, and that the power supply cable (the 3 pin one) works.
