Stupid ITX Case!

So, bought this case on a well known auction site and now am trying to build it.. however, im seriously struggling to find a PSU that will fit!

From the pics here, the case is a Chyang Fun CM case:

And these measurements, the Actul hole on the backplate is 12cm by 9.5cm. With the actual distance between the screw holes is 13cm.

Please can anyone help?

Ive tried all 3 of those e-tailers and nothing there will fit. I thought it would be an external power brick style, but there is no hole drilled at the back for the power connection. There is only that massive hole, which has to be for an internal psu, just with very odd sizes!

I think im going to end up filling in that hole somehow, and using a power brick ;/

It looks like a Shuttle case, in which case the form factor is Flex ATX.

You might need to look for Shuttle PSUs.

Shuttle psus are really thin, but very long so it wouldnt fit at all. The case is only as wide as the CD drive you see there.

Im thinking its going to have to be the Pico PSU Yewen, but going to have to figure out a way of filling in the massive hole at the back... I suck at metal work!

It is a Chyang Fun CM case, but i cant find it on their site

Hmm, thats a possibility, guess it doesnt really have to be metal. Its going to be under a desk so you'd never seen the back. Dont want to leave the hole due to the dust, but it really doesnt need to be metal!

Long as it stops/reduces the dust i'll be happy

I'm using a ChyangFun eCube case which I'm pretty sure has the same size PSU which you need. I'm actually looking to get rid of it in favour for an external brick... why you ask? Because it is seriously L-O-U-D. Drop me a mail if you're interesed, but you have been warned

Hmm, how loud is loud?

Ive emailed Chyang to try and get some info on the PSU, ive also tried a few Mini ITX places, so hoping to get a reply from them soon. I really want to keep this case as its perfect for me, and as mentioned above its a really nice looking case
