Default Power Supply Mod?

How hard is it to put your power supply on the bottom of the case? Is it even possible? Here is a link to the case that I have....

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119094

I am just wondering if its possible, if anyone has any links on how to do it or someone who has successfully done it? Thanks!

Chris

not too bad if in the bottom front. If you want it in the bottom rear (no pun) then youre gonna want another case, methinks

Its do-able. All you need to do is drill the pop-rivets out of the I/O panel and set it aside. Then cut out the back panel, leaving enough metal to pop-rivet a new panel onto. Cut a new panel for the back and cut the PSU hole at the bottom and align the I/O cutout at the top. Then just rivet the new panel in as well as the I/O plate and bam!

I dont know it thats more modding than you're looking for though,lol.
Hope that helped.

You could try just flipping the case upside down and turn your cdroms upside down and see if you can remount the front panel so it looks right. Not sure how much work it would be to get that top usb thing on bottom of case tho.

I think that it's too much work. And why do I want to do it? I just thought it would look cooler. I guess its probably easier to just buy a new case Thanks guys! Plus I thought that I saw someone on this site say something like "I can't wait to send my case to -some company- so they can flip my PSU too" and I thought to myself, if they could do it, I could do it. I guess its really not worth the trouble.

Smart choice... It would probably be barely less work to make your own case..
