Hey all,

I heard that the Antec P180 couldn't hold the Hiper Type-R 580W PSU.

Is this true?

Thanks!

It'll 'hold' it fine, its the same size as most psu's of that wattage. The difficulty comes when fitting the 4pin atx cable in the P180 - it needs to be long.

Is there an extender anywhere?
 
I believe that the Hiper PSu will fit as long as you remove the case fan in the lower psu chamber. Because the PSU is modular, the modular connections protude out of the edge of the PSU and may interfere with the fan baldes. The fan in the lower chamber doesnt really help much anyway and I have removed mine and it didnt affect my PSu or hd temps at all one bit.

Also, there are 4 pin psu extension cables available but I dont think OcUK has got any. You may be able to use this and just use one of the 4pin connections and leave the other disconnected:
