Front PSU mounting. How?

[Kyuss]

Hi there,

I have built a new system with this case rev 3. I want to mount the SFX-L PSU in the front not in the side, because there is almost no space between the GPU backplate and the power conectors of the PSU. I've been searching but with no success, I can't find how to do it.

Is this mounting for some revisions only? I must buy some new plate or something?

Thanks in advance.

(Amazing how this expensive case has no instructions manual YET, I can't understand.)

You need to use an ATX to SFX adapter bracket like this, in version 6 you can mount if to the front without an additional bracket.

So you attach this adapter to to frame?

You attach the adapter bracket to the ATX mounting bracket, which attaches to the front of the frame.

What's the disadvantage of this front mount PSU location?

Can't have 25mm fan mounted to the bracket next to the PSU.

Could a slim 120x120x15mm fit?

Thank you, I will try it.

The regular SFX bracket can be attached to the front without using the ATX bracket. The 3 needed holes are on the front plate.

Just realized my case is the current generation version so what I suggest probably doesn't apply to your situation. Sorry.
