The ATX reference spec for PSUs gives a reference width of 150 mm. Yours is 153 which is Ok. It just means that that I get to decide where I think the mounting holes will be.

EDIT: The manufacturer lists it as 150, will change.

I'm going to center the 138 mm-separated holes in the back of the PSU. If you get the PSU and they're offset, which I think is unlikely, you'll have to drill somewhere else.

How is the back panel held in place? If it's with thumbscrews into the rearmost strut you're going to have a rough time with it. The back covers the channels into which the sides slide, holding them in place when the back's attached. However, the PSU and mobo tray will be attached to the back, unless you want to do it differently. You wouldn't be able to remove the back which would then stop you from removing the sides forming something of a Japanese puzzle box problem.

Since the mobo/tray will be primarily attached to the struts inside I suggest you keep all of it inside and place the back panel of the tray flush with the inside of the case's back.

Then you should mount the PSU to the struts from the bottom.

If you kept the mobo tray inside and kept the PSU attached to the back whenever you removed the back panel you'd have to unscrew the PSU or it would come with the back panel.

If the PSU doesn't have to depend on the back panel for support you can have a much larger opening since you have to make no considerations for the back panel's strength.

Like so:

Yeah actually that would make more sense. if I attach the psu to the inside then the back can be held with thumb screw and cover the side panels. holding them in place.
 
Still planning on using a light. I'll make the struts out of clear perspex. Might get some lines. But it should let it through.

Could you also add the rams head to the other panel as well please.
 
wow looking good guys, idea for the logo, what about the funky triangle thing with the ram in the gap in the middle? you may need to make the triangle segments smaller in proportion to the ram but could look good!
 
Still can't get it to work. Can someone else try it and see if the files work. if so I might try a disc and registry cleanup and reinstalling it.
