What cases won't a Modstream fit into?

[Toddo97]

I got a good deal on a 450w Modstream a few months ago to go into my computer build that I'll be doing in a couple of months. I was leaning towards the Lian Li v1100, but from what I've been reading, the ocz won't fit. I also just learned that it won't fit into an antec p180. Here is my shortlist of cases--are there any on there that I can scratch because of my psu???

Coolermaster Centurion
Thermaltake Tsunami
Lian Li pc60-B
Silverstone Temjin06
Coolermaster Stacker

Just put a 520W Modstream in a Tsunami today. I did have to unscrew the top mounted usb and sound connection to get the psu in. Relatively easy, just took an extra few minutes.

I thought it was the powerstream that had issues with fitting not the modstream?

i have a powerstream in a p180, and it works perfectly fine, if you have problems with the cable lengths, all you need are some extensions, not a new psu or case...

The modstream is the one that has some cable length issues. I have on myself, and I will admit the ATX 12v cord is a little stiff and short, but it will fit in any NORMAL style case, the only reason it has problems with eh P180 is the weird way the cable because of the seperate air chambers.

but is it definitely too short to fit in the 180 or the lian li 1100v?

the modstream will not in any way, shape or form fit in the lian li pc-v1100. i know, i have both a modstream 450 and the lian li 1100.

It's not cable length really, it's the fact that (A) the modstream has the cables coming out on the wrong side (they must come out on a certain side to fit through the hole for them going up into the main mobo area of the case, and there's no room to route them in the psu chamber), and (B) because the modstream is modular, it requires a little extra room to plug in the modular cables into the psu itself -- there's no room at all for this; when the psu is in the psu-chamber on the lian li, the ports for the cables are right up against a peice of aluminum--you cant put a peice of paper in there, let alone route & plug cables in.

i ended up having to get an enermax. my modstream is sitting in another system now.
