Support for PSU in an acrylic case?

Pez D Spencer · 09-January-06, 07:23 AM

I ordered a Logisys acrylic case and an Ultra 550w x-2 connect PSU. I am worried that the case will not support the PSU properly and the PSU will hang down because there is no support under it, only the 4 screws in the front of the PSU attaching it to the case.

Do you think this will be a problem? Ive considered velcro on the top of the PSU (ugly), or super glue (never get the PSU out again), but I dont want the PSU to hang down and/or possibly bust off from the weight of the PSU because this PSU is titanium and I suspect its pretty beefy.

Anyone else got an acrylic case with no support under the PSU? Does yours hang down and/or risk breaking away from the case? Im pretty concerned this will be an issue and wish I would have gotten a case with a support under the PSU but it's too late now.

Thanks for any info.

My Envy case mod was an acrylic and I had that problem. Probably the best way to handle it is to build your own supports, like a shelf bracket. It could be from acrylic, meetal, or any materical you want.
