Hi,
Guys i just bought a power supply and case but the power supply won't fit in the case.

Both are ATX so should work but does not I have a Thermaltake Armor VA8000SWA Silver Aluminum with a seasonic S12 600w ATX 12V v2.0.

I called 800 phone for Thermaltake and they said it should fit in case if is ATX.
"
Sir, that power supply has fit in the Armor perfectly fine. Please attempt
to reinstall the unit.


If you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this e-mail
or contact or technical support department toll free at (800) 988-1088. Our
technical team is open Monday through Friday, 9:00AM to 5:30PM PST. "

but it won't go in Demensions are off.


The power hole on the back of the case is not big enought for power supply to fit in on it's
side. It will not standup hits the top of case before it will stand on it's side like it should.


seasonic S12 600w ATX 12V v2.0. Demensions are lenght 5.9 width 5.5 hieght 3.4
is this with in standard ATX power supply size or is it slightly over sized ?
