I know it looks rough, but I haven't finished filing the edges down, and the case will be repainted. That's not the issue. I need some advice on hiding the substandard cut on the right side of the power supply.

Find some of the u-channel stuff, order it with the extra deep channel, then epoxy it in place to hide the flaw.

Or you could make a custom mounting plate for the PSU that would cover it up inside.

I vote for the u-channel idea. seems like the easiest to implement.

90W PicoATX works just fine, that cut became an air intake, and you can't see the imperfection.

Agreed with the U-Channel. You could also use rubber lining that is similar, depending on which way you wish to go.
