In order to fit the power supply where I wanted, I have to stand it on end. Which meant that I had to remove part of the case for airflow and to reach the power switch.
I turned the case over and removed the back wheelset. I forgot to take a shot before cutting, so here's what it looked like lol.
And here's after the cut. I later had to remove a bit more from the bottom of the case to clear the power switch. You will notice in the next couple of pics I repositioned the wheelset forward a bit.
Here is the original back plate. I'm cutting off the PSU mounting portion and relocating it.
Relocated! Now I can place the PSU in for a test fit.
I'm using Corsair's 1KW power supply, which can accommodate the three EVGA GTX 260 cards in SLI. It has six 6-8pin cables right out of the box. No need for molex adapters!
It is quite long, but it fits!
Since I mutilated the original backplate, I needed to make a new one. So I grabbed some left-over aluminum panel and cut one to size.
Then I curved the bottom portion so it would match the corner curvature of the case. Looking around the garage, I found a ladder wall hook to have a suitable tube diameter to bend around. :)
And back on the case.
Last thing to do was to cut the fan hole. The Corsair psu has a 140mm fan, so I found the center, used a compass to draw a 5 1/2" circle, and cut it out.
I'm working on getting some grills made, so that will cover up the hole and finish it off.
love the way youve mounted the psu:D keep it rolling dude! looks good as always
Cool idea with mounting the PSU like that Should give you a lot of extra space to work with.
Thanks guys. It was really the only viable solution. I'm glad it worked out! :)
Got a bit more work done last night. Made the pieces that will go in between the Typhoons and around
the corner to complete the trident shape.
I used more of the left-over side panel and cut two 9/16" strips.
Then I bent them 90°. Here's a shot of them in place to give you an idea. They will just be mounted to the
wrap-around window with double-sided tape, as I dont want any visible fasteners.

looking sweet dude, and you need a new sig for this mod!
Yep it is looking great Bod. I can't wait to see how that window turns out.
Sounds great... but it would be nice to see some pics, (none of the pics work for me)
Yeah, I will be switching servers here real soon, cause my current host (1and1) is sporadic at best. Seems the server is down more than it is up lately. :mad:Quote:
