Fitting two items in my case

[APAV]

Hi again guys I am getting This and This.

The size of my case is my problem. Do you guys think I can fit both of those in there after taking the old hardware out?(DPS-350AB-8 Delta Power supply (Sirah) 350-Watt and a Geforce 9400 GPU) If yes, do you think that the fan speed hack will work for this case to cool it and maybe get some ventilation going? Finally, do you think I need an Accelero S1 Arctic Cooling unit in there(recommended by a friend) even if I increased my fan speed, and will it fit safely?

Here are some pictures of my case:

As long as the video card doesn't hit the drive cage, should be okay.

Hi again Zap, care to explain the drive cage? Is that the part it looks like my card is hitting in the pictures but is barely over it? I know this is a bad thing to compare it to but its a metal thing with grooves in them, looks like prison bars?

Yup, assuming the PSU in there is normal ATX (~6" wide by 5.5 long by 3.5 high) the Corsair will fit, but the normal length mobo cables on it will cram things up substantially. Some companies, e.g. Silverstone, sell short cable (usually this means the mobo cables only) versions for compact cases. IDK, about the vid card. You'll need to get the length of it from the mfr's web site and measure the space you have from the back of the slot plate bracket to the obstruction. I estimate you have at least 9 inches or so. Consider any height obstructions as well.

Ya I have a lot of non-connected cables in my case that are all bunched up. I will post a picture here soon for you to decide what they are.
