I put the PSU in on the opposite side that the case is designed for. and because of that, the screw holes dont match up on the original PSU bracket, and drilling new holes in the old bracket isnt going to work....So I had to make a new bracket.

I am not even close to finishing it, still have to sand all the edges and make the straight and square. plus this might just be another template, until I have access to the proper tools for making a nice looking bracket. And if all esle fails, I could just paint it black too. it would hide all the wierd lines.

What's wrong with the way the PSU is supposed to be positioned? Or are you just modding for the sake of modding?

I plan on putting the the big fan door on the PSU side. That way you can see the PSU through the window. because on the other side, the PSU is blocked by the HDD cage.

And instead on looking at the chrome side of the PSU I flipped it over so I can see the top fan shroud and lights from the PSU through the window.....

Make sense? It sounds confusing. I'll try and take some pics tonight to better explain.

No, it makes sense... but then won't the fan be right up against the window, killing the airflow? Why don't you just not use the HDD cage? I just use the iCage for my HDDs...

i get what you are saying, sounds good, and looks good also. No point in having a PSU with a window and light up fan if you aren't gonna see it right

gobygoby

Well.........If I put the PSU in the "normal" position the fan would be right up next to the HDD cage.

I plan on removing the big 25cm fan from the door as well. I only wanted the door for the window. I got water cooling and lots of other fans in the case, so the door fan isnt really needed anyway.


Thanks! Exactly, its just for looks.

But why are you gonna put the HDD cage by the PSU even IN there Why do you need it? And unless you put mesh in the window by the PSU won't the fan be starved for air? *BAD for the PSU*?

gobygoby

ok, If you have an armor you should know that the PSU goes right next to the HDD cage up in the top, rear of the chassis.

not my pic, found on the web


here you can see that its just how it fits. I am not swapping locations of the PSU and HDD cage. They will stay in there same place, I am only putting the PSU on its other side. so The LED's and UV fan face out instead of in.

Also the big fan door will go on that side as well, so there will be ventilation, not to mention the whole back plate of the PSU is mesh. And I cant move my HDD's to the front drive bay tower, becuase thats where my water pump is going.

I'll show you tonight. Dont worry, it will be all good!

Most of us Armour owners don't USE that HDD cage- I took mine out so my PSU fan could breathe.. Can't you move the Icage up? I personally have 2 of them in the front..

I would be worried about the fan tho- Such a big fan pulling from such a small area... I still would say to put mesh in the door where the PSU is..

gobygoby

Ok.....here is what I am trying to do.



First, since I have the Armor LCS the radiator is in the drive bay tower. so this limits the space there.

Second, I am going to put the water pump in the drive bay, so I wont have any room for the HDD cage there.

If I installed the PSU they way it was supposed to be, I would see the bottom of it. Its all chrome. I wanted to turn it over so I could see the other side from the window with the big fan.

Now I am putting the fan door on the opposite side.........----so each side will have a window!----

and the side of the PSU with the fan will be on the same side as the other door with built in 25cm fan.....that has mesh.

now do you get it?
