I am building a new system using a Lian-Li Model PC-82 case.

When I went to put the power supply (an Antec 480W True Power - a back fan and also a bottom fan) the PS would not go into the case opening because the bottom fan grill would not clear the bottom case edging, i.e. the power supply was to big for the opening while the fan grill was installed.

I had to take the fan grill off of the PS and flip it over on the PS or leave it off and reinstall it after sliding the PS thru the case opening.

Has anyone else had this problem with this case.

I have written to Lian-Li, but I have to this point had no reply.

Thanks for your help.

Same case, TrueBlue 480 - had to remove the fan grill and re-install. Also makes it impossible to easily remove the PSU. Love the case for everything else though. didn't have the issue with other PSU's I have since they don't have the lower fan grill on the outside of the PSU case. I replaced the fans with clear plastic ones with blue led's and added a dual blue cold cathode light kit and it looks pretty cool.
