Will this fit?

I am in desperate need of a new PSU before i can upgrade anymore, and i have been waiting until one comes on special offer at a reasonable price. I am looking at this one Here but i am unsure whether or not it will fit in a BTX case, as i have never had a conclusive answer.

Has anyone had any experience with ATX PSUs in BTX cases?

Cheers

what size is the one in there at the moment and how much more room is there in the enclosure ?

Jakstaar2007 · 2 Jul 2009 at 09:31

140mm x 150mm x 98mm (LxWxH) approx
And i have quite a bit of space (it is placed in the top right)
It is just whether or not it will click into the slot and line up with the screws.

Also, are modular PSUs notorious for short cables? As my tower is a tall one and the HDDs are located in the opposite corner.

Thanks

Not really but if you expect a modular PSU at the same price as a non modular PSU of the same Wattage you'd expect some let downs and short cables are a common 1.

No, i expect to pay more, of course, but i would prefer a modular. Just want to make sure the cables will be long enough.

I only really want to pay £50-60 as i wont be upgrading this PC anymore for ages so 600w will be more than enough. The reason why i am looking for one is that my current one is a 375w Dell one, the cables are terrible and it is very loud. Hence why i'd prefer a modular one and waited for one to go on offer.

So really my questions are;
1) has anyone got one of these PSUs? If so, how would you rate the cable length.
2) Has anyone got any experience with ATX PSUs in a BTX case?

Thanks
