Hey guys,
I would like to introduce you to my current project I am working on.
I bought a prebuild MSI Aegis X3 vr7rd a few month Ago. I liked the Design of the PC except for the foot it was standing on. So i decided to modify it now.
The biggest problem now is that the foot contains the PSU of the PC. Inside the Tower i found enough space at the spot were the 2 x 3,5" HDD Bays where sitting. I removed the Bays and am planning to position the Power supply inside there.
Now i wonder if someone has an Idea for an 600WPSU that is small enough to fit in that space. I got 20cm x 11 cm x10 cm empty space in there. Ideally it should be something modular maybe with the option to place the switch and dc Input at the back of the chassis via an extension or something.
The next point is, that the PSU will be sitting in the front compartment of the PC so i will get problems with the Power switch and Powercable. Alternatively i was thinking of putting the old PSU inside. It wasnt fitting as it is too long. So i poened up the chassis of it and was thinking to cut the switch out, place it a the back of the chassis and connect it with a cable extension back to the power supply. But if i open up the Power supply as seen on the Images i would have to remove the both coolers of the PSU, which would obviously cause thermal issues.
What do you guys think, should i keep on working on this or do you think it's going to be a waste of time?
Smoldering, cutting or drilling wouldn't be a problem for me. Also it isn't important where the screwholes etc. Of the PSU are, as i would have to redrill hole in the chassis anyway. Only the size Matters for me.
I really love the Design right now. So any suggestions that would help me with this would be great.
English isn't my mother tongue. Hope you can still understand what im trying to do here.
