Looking for a 5" L PSU (mATX?)

[paperfist]

Hello all,

I'm searching for a PSU that is 5" L and about 400-450Watts. Not having much luck unless I want to go with an Athena. The biggest problem is hardly any sites like the PSU dimensions so I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a quality PSU that will fit the bill?

Thanks!

What case are you using? There are a number of decent 5.5" PSUs (140mm) if that will fit your case. If so, then we can suggest something.

I'm using this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811144232 APEVIA X-MASTER-BL/500 ATX Case.

It currently uses a 5.5" (140mm long) PSU and I'm looking to replace that for a shorter one because it won't fit with my HIS 4870 GPU. I have my PSU mounted outside of the case and am getting tired of it

I guess my other options are to ditch the case or upgrade the GPU to something hopefully shorter. I think I've looked at over 100 PSUs so far and haven't found any that fits the bill.

I'd say time for a new case.

Athena Power? They range from mediocre to okay. What troubles me most about them is that their reliability isn't that great.

Well I was on the fence about buying one, but with two reactions like this and a $125 price tag for a 5" one I'll have to skip it.

What's really a shame as I just looked at my PSU is that there's actually a little more then 1/2" of dead space between the back of the PSU casing and where the circuit board end. If there was a safe way for me to dremel off the excess 1/2" I'd be golden.
