antec p180 and hiper psu problem

hi,

has anyone had problems with these two?

the problem im getting is the cables from the psu arent long enough to reach all plugs, at the moment i have had to stick things under the psu to make it higher and one cable is going over my x1800

just wondered if it was just me? can you get longer cables for the hiper psu's?

thanks

Its not just Hiper PSUs that are affected, its most PSUs. Is it the P4 powr cable that is most affected? The solution is to get power extension cables, or extend the cables yourself.

I have this problem. And I have the seasonic. The power lead just manages to reach the pin power lead thing. It had to go over my 7800gt and then to the plug.

While the design of the case is admirable there are some notable flaws. In this case the compartment would have been better served being at the top for stuff like the seasonic and etc.

Alternatively the seasonic could have been modular.

In the end I got a 4 pin atx extension lead.

The situation is even worse in the teimjin t-06 where neither the 4 pin atx lead nor the 24 pin power lead are long enough.

How do I know? Becuase I have that case as well fitted with another seasonic 400w PSU.

In retrospect i should have got something maybe like the Akasa eclipse 62.

The only cases that IMO work with a bottom compartment are the LianLi v series, as they have the upside down motherboard layout.
