    Thanks, guys! @Nivram, I'll check that weather strip when I stop by Lowe's the next time. Thanks for the tip.

    Need my new case to take my new ATX PSU

    I ended up fabricating my own bracket over the weekend and posted the results on my other thread on the Chassis Forum. Hit it if you want to see my final solution: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037989677&postcount=13 Thank you all for your help!

    Help fitting a PSU

    Ok, so I ended up taking a stab at building the bracket myself. I had never done this kind of work before so it was a good challenge. I spent about 2-3 hours cutting, grinding and polishing a piece of sheet metal and ended up with an acceptable solution. Here are a few pictures: This is the...

    Help fitting a PSU

    Thanks for digging those links, guys. The hard part is knowing the exact dimensions of those adapters to see if they'll fit and that information was not readily available on those web sites. I ended up fabricating a bracket myself over the weekend. Will post pictures soon.

    Need my new case to take my new ATX PSU

    Yeah, I'm realizing this now. The tough part about looking for such a plate is finding the one with the right dimensions. I've stopped by Home Depot on my way home yesterday and bought a piece of sheet metal and a dremel -- this little project was actually a nice excuse to get a new tool :)...

    Help fitting a PSU

    Yep! I stopped by Home Depot and got a rotary tool and found a 6"x18" 16 gauge metal sheet which looks good. The also had aluminum but I thought that was too thin (they didn't specify the gauge though). I still need some sort of clamp to hold the plate while I work on it before I can...

    @cmadki4, your "poorly written paragraphs" are greatly appreciated. :) I'm going to stop by a hardware store on my way home tonight to see what they have. Thanks!

    Help fitting a PSU

    Thanks for all replies. @Mugzu and @djsi: I've been trying to find an adapter with no luck so far. I even tried Mugzu's search term again this morning. :( @cmadki4: I'm starting to think fabricating this adapter is my only option. I'm actually getting used to the idea. Will have to read a bit...

    Need my new case to take my new ATX PSU

    Unfortunately they don't line up -- the whole at the bottom seem to line up vertically but they don't align horizontally -- the holes on the chassis are too low and the PSU is already sitting on the chassis floor. Thanks again. I'm actually warming up to the idea of drilling some holes...

    Need my new case to take my new ATX PSU

    Sorry, sarcasm detector not working very well this morning. I'll give Chenbro a ring, but have very little hope. I fully expect to go down the drilling path if nobody knows of anything like that. I imagine I'll need a piece of metal to support the back side of the PSU as well since it will be...

    Need my new case to take my new ATX PSU

    Hey, nice to meet you too! Well, I'd rather buy it ready to go if such a thing exists (I thought these things were based on standards). I can drill holes if it comes down to it though. Anyone else?

    Help fitting a PSU

    Hey folks, I tried posting this on the PSU forums but had no luck so far. I need help fitting my regular ATX PSU on my new rackmount Chenbro RM41824 case. As it turns out I mistakenly thought it would take ATX PSUs but it doesn't. It normally comes with a Zippy 960W 1+1 redundant PSU...

    Need my new case to take my new ATX PSU

    Hey folks, I need your help. I've just received my new rackmount Chenbro RM41824 case just to find out it apparently doesn't take regular ATX PSUs. It normally comes with a 960W 1+1 redundant PSU which I didn't get in order to save some money and because I already had a Corsair HX750W lying...

    Do all SFF-8087 cables include sideband support?

    Thanks guys, that helps. I'll pay attention to that when I buy the cables.
