Grr. I just got my components in the mail and was putting them together.
For a Case I got the Antec ONE

The PSU I got the PC Power&Cooling Silencer MK3 600W
http://www.pcpower.com/products/description/Silencer_Mk_III_600W/

Well sadly they don't work together nicely. Well, at least I can't screw the PSU in.

The case has a bottom mount location for the PSU
The PSU itself has a 120mm, but if "fit" the screw holes for the PSU, the cooling fan goes to the bottom of the case.

I'm just going to run it for now with out the PSU screwed in, I don tmove the box that much, figure I can lock it down somehow.

So my question is, looking at the specs on the info sites, how could I have figured this one out?
Anyone else make this mistake?
 
The Cooling fan is SUPPOSED to be on the bottom. That is what the holes in the bottom of the case are for. The PSU fan sucks cool air from outside the bottom of the case in and exhausts it out the back.

You, non anyone else, has made a mistake.
 


Ah. It doesn't seem to be a ton of holes on the bottom, but yes they are there. I'll have to prop my machine up a bit more. I normally just sits on carpet, soft and thick enough it would cut out the air vents.

Thanks for the info, I was thinking that may be the case. "in this case :>"
