OCZ 520/420 Powerstream Size difference??

[HannibalTheCannibal]

I am looking at the OCZ line of PSU's. I currently have an Antec TrueBlue480 (18A 12V) which I am still using on my NF2 board until all of my hardware gets here for my new build.

Will either of these PSU's fit in place of my TrueBlue480 in my case? I have a maxtop case (Its a full atx) very sturdy and very heavy.
Are the 420 and 520 the same dimensions in size?

I am talking about the powerstream versions BTW. WIth the adjustable rails

The one I have does. As I understand they came out with future revisions (or maybe new stickers),

Will an OCZ powerstream drop in place of one of these?

His must be one of the older ones.

About the size:

Antec: 15cm(L) x 14 cm(W) x 8.6 cm(H)

OCZ: 17.5cm(L) x 15 cm(W) x 8.6 cm(H)

It's 2.5cm longer and 1cm wider.

I just checked mine out and I have 22 A 12 V rail so I guess they have really been improving these things

I wonder if the few CM would prevent the OCZ 420 pwstrm from fitting in my case. I remember the trueblur being kinda easy to put in. ANybody have a standard atx case with one of these?

Good question.

The Powerstreams will fit in a standard ATX case easily. The only thing you really have to watch out for is the depth. As long as your case can fit a long PSU, you'll be fine.

I was worried about the Powerstream fitting in my PC-61B with room to spare for the top fan. There is maybe about 1/3 of an inch between the end of the powersupply and the top fan.
