I used to think a modern PSU would be made to a certain size....I was wrong.

In my quest to play with new toys I have got my grubby little mits on a Tagan 580W PSU (4th down on OcUK's site, 1st Non-Modular). I have literally opened up the side of my V1000 to see a gap smaller than the PSU....

Clearly this ain't going to fit. I know you can drill out rivets or something but I am rather less than keen to do this. Failing that any other good ideas?

I do like the case but lately everything I do with it just seems to cause more problems :/

Helps! :)
 
It's the lack of the + that is causing the issues, I sold mine in a long time back for the +.

There really are not many options open to you other than to hang it half out the back.

That is the old method, it is fine to do so.

Great case but the issue it had do detract from its appeal now, and the PSU does not conform to the ATX spec to the letter then, as that is what is required for a PSU to fit in that case, but since when did PSU makers do that :(

(and just noticed my name in the thread title :cool: )
 
No money to go to the + so I guess a PSU with it's arse stuck out shall suffice for now :)

I have a project I was working on that got cancelled that I suppose I could resume - an old and somewhat scruffy PC70 Could have some fun tarting that up :D

(as for the thread title - np's - you seem to live in this forum now :D)
 
What can I say, it is cosey and relatively moderation team free so I can spam to my hearts content :D

PC70 is a great case, what sort of condition is it in then?
 
It had the Akasa Paxmat stuff stuck on the inside on most surfaces - 2 layers thick so removing it is hard work and leaves an icky residue behind which I have had little luck removing.

Beyond that there are mainly scuffs and scratch marks on it that just make it look a bit tatty. Also the front panel doesn't snap into place anymore - at least 1 of the plastic lugs is missing and another is possibly broken.

I think I'm gonna have to have a go at fixing it up now :) Was going to try and throw some watercooling in it last year but never got around to it :o


I think this calls for pics! :D
 
It does :p

Well, with the paxnotyourmate stuff, soak the panels in water with washing up liquid then take a cloth to the sticky residue 5 mins later, rinse and repeat.

That stuff is truely evil, and it don't work most of the time :p
 
I'll give that a try if I can avoid bending the panels too much pulling the last layer off :(

Sounds like an excuse to fill the bath tbh :D

I'm tired now so I'll get fresh piccies in the morning (and begin stripping down the paxnotyourmate (love that btw :p) at the same time) :)

I'll start it up in a new thread however as this has run it's course really :p
 
What, you expect me to leave case central :p

I have no idea of the current value of a v1000, I will have a look around and see what they have been going for :)
