hi, i posted about watercooling earlier, wanna get a new case and see how it helps out with my temps and cutting down sound before i decide to go water cooling, since its going to require alot of work research and time to put together a water cooling unit.
im looking at the p180 and i really think this is the one i want to get, but im a bit worried that my psu may be too long to fit in the space provided. i dont want to order this case and find out my psu doesnt fit inside.
my psu is about 6 1/4 inches long, Vantech Stealth 470W. i had some trouble fitting it into my current case with the fan installed in the blowhole, i had to move the hole over a bit to allow enough room to squeeze the psu in. can anyone that has this case measure the distance allowed for a psu, with, and without the fan installed that goes between the hdd cage and the psu. if my psu is going to fit im gonna go ahead and purchase this case. thanks ^

Well, I don't have the case, but common reasoning will provide.

Your PSU is only a 1/4 inch longer than standard, and from various pictures it looks as though there is at least a couple of inches before you encounter the fan. You should have no problem. I understand that you probably wont take this advice (seeing as how I don't own the case).

If that PSU is only 1/4" longer than standard, then your advice is so sound that I'm not going to bother taking my P180 apart to measure. Oh, what the heck. It's 7.5" (18 cm) from the back panel to the rear surface of the 120x38mm fan.
