PSU relocation (case mod)

[Rik1254]

I want to get better air flow and temps in my case and the easiest way I can see of doing so it to move the PSU to the bottom from the top (Xigmatek Asgard Pure black).

I know I would have to mod the rear panel and the Mobo panel to be able to move the mobo up to its new location.

Here is my case.
Red lines are current PSU location, Green is new location.

Blank picture for reference

Now, Ill have to cut along the bottom of the PSU holes on the back panel, but how would I go about joining them when its in its new location?
I can get some metal glue which is very strong, but will look messy and only works tidy in clumps.
I cant weld, or have access to someone that can weld.


Anyone have any ideas?
And Im not buying a new case....I like this 1

Ill be cutting the back panel and joining onto the bottom and moving the board up to where the PSU is now. Then Ill be adding 1 top mounted fans and 1 bottom fan to give it better air flow.

Also, it will aid temps. Ive taken the PSU out and put it on top of the case and covered the PSU hole. Case temps dropped 5* and CPU temps dropped 7*

I wouldnt mind a new case, but I dont like antec for some reason, see my friends 300 and its just fugly.

Unless someone can find me a decent case (preferably with a side window and LED fans included) for sub £50, Im modding this

I never noticed that before and Ive been scanning the cases for a while....schweet.

turn the case upside down

Cant do that, the physics involved will make a time shift of exactly 34 days.

Backwards, turning it the right way up will result in an almost perfect reversal.
Im too scared to lie the case down incase the air pressure created will influence Hurricane Irene any more.
