Hello all,

If a case has a PSU length limit of 180mm and the PSU's length is 180mm, is there any room left for the power cables? Thermaltake Tower 100 + EVGA T2

This is the Thermaltake Tower 100 case I want to buy:

This is the EVGA 1000 watt T2 Titanium PSU I want to put into the case:
https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-T2-1000-X1

If you look at their spec sheets, the Thermaltake Tower 100 PSU clearance is 180mm in length. And the SIZE of the EVGA T2 1000 watts PSU is 180mm in length.

So, if they are BOTH 180mm in length, will there be ANY room left for the PSU's power cables to connect to the motherboard/CPU/GPU?

Also, can this case support a HUGE 3-slot GPU like the RTX 3090 because I see that there are only 2 GPU brackets that you can remove. Will the RTX 3090 get very hot in this case because I see that the GPU would be really close to the side panel?

Yes there'll be space for the cables.

Page 02, here, triple slot cards can drop in but then we're looking at bad thermals as the GPU is much closer to the side panel which is 50% blocked off.
