Upgrading an XPS 8900 and can't get PSU out.

[jpugh99]

I'm trying to remove the PSU and there are two tabs in the way. I believe I'm suppose to push them down but the top one will not budge, the bottom one is down. If anyone knows what to do it would be much appreciated.

Yes, you need to push those 2 tabs down to get PSU out of the case.

A video where it's explained as well (look from 4:57 to 5:20),

Remove the 2nd case side (behind MoBo) and look for things that are blocking the 2nd tab.

I just replaced the factory PSU in my Dell XPS 8900 with a "be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 10 700W ATX 12V 80 Plus Gold Modular SLI/CrossFireX Power Supply SilentWings 3 Fan Ultra Silent."

I too had the same issue. There is no need remove the 2nd case as was suggested. All you need to do is pull up on the unit (toward you), press the (stubborn) tab in just as little as it will go, and slide it over the tab. The key here is pulling the unit up and above the tab. It works.

Here are some pics of my install.
