I just looked at my case again and there is about one inch between the back of the power supply and the top ports.

The OCZ Powerstream models are about 1.35 inch longer than a standard ATX PSU or 6.875" total. The space was required for the larger heatsinks and extra circuitry for the adjustable rails and all.

This setup was the bomb back in the day rofl! Started out a PII 400 with quality ram but I got jacked at my local computer store after a "repair". Oh yeah I have a huge 6 GB HDD on this thing :laugh: I did have a PC I got from a relative awhile back, HP 8560c, complete with celeron 500 and and ASUS MEW MB that ASUS wouldn't even claim as its own! Needless to say the HP died the PC I built (and am talking to you with) was built 4 years earlyer and still works fine.

Yea man, enjoy it... it's great for about 3 months until AMD releases new chips, Nvidia comes out with a whole new line of video cards, and memory speeds double. But until tomorrow, you've got the best. Enjoy!

And thanks for the price list. :)
