PSU installation question. Answered. Now with pics of finished install.

[SithSolo1]

Ok, I got just got my new Antec True380 psu and I'm trying to install it but I don't know if I am supposed to install it with the second fan point towards the top or the bottom of the case. It goes either way.

Bottom, so it's just over the CPU.

You're welcome. That's the ATX standard. The fan is supposed to be just above the CPU to remove the hot air from it, and vent it out through the PSU.

you cant really install the other way since the 4 screws will not line up anymore.

They do on this case.

weird,never seen one like that.

On all the ones I have see the top left screw is about 1 inch closer to the middle so only fits one way.

Here's a picture of what i mean picture , see the screw hole about the power connector,it's not at the end like the other 3 .

it's because you got an adapter on your psu.


that's why I tough it was very weird too.

That's no adapter, that's the case. The PSU is mounted directly to it. I crop'd that from a larger photo.

it's alright I believe you. I just never seen a case that has more than 4 screw holes.

You see something new everyday.

Yep, that's it. Fresh from Newegg this afternoon. I dunno if I like it yet or not, I need to hurry up and get all the stuff I need for my new rig. Old rig is sitting pretty in a black Antec 1030 w/ window. Now that was a good case.
