TJ07 PSU Installation

Gundog48 · 13 Jun 2011 at 18:36

I am designing some mods for my project, part of it is to install a 120.2 fan grill on the midplate to push cool air over the CPU and into the system. However, do to this while preserving a HDD rack will mean that the fans will hit the PSU. However, I was to mount the PSU horizontally rather than on it's side it would work. I'm trying to work out how I could do this. I am looking into fabricating a custom panel but that would be tricky. Any suggestions?

Not sure if it is standard equipment as I bought mine second hand but I think it is. You can change the back panel part that covers the psu to a normal horizontal one

Will get a quick pic of it 2 secs

Nice! Can anyone else say whether it comes as standard? That is exactly what I'm looking for!

Hopefully someone else can, if it doesn't though trust me and you can have mine as I wont be needing it

Fantastic! I've just messaged the guy I'm buying the case from (hasn't arrived yet

) and hopefully he will let me know if it includes one or not!

As reference for anyone else wondering the same thing, the horizontal bracket is included!

EDIT! Anyone in the same boat as me, the horizontal mount is for a redundant PSU rather than a standard ATX one. Looks like I'll be making an adapter bracket

Wow your build must be taking a long time

I never measured at the time, assumed it was for a standard psu. Very strange.

Yeah, had a massive lack of time for a while. Making a but of a push now, primed half of it earlier, will be fishing the priming on Monday. Then I need to sort out getting the colour paint mixed, braiding and fans. I'm really hesitant on spending £70 just on fans though...
