Get a Dual Fan PSU -> Std Tower case

jabberwock

So my power supply popped a while back and I got a new 1 from Komplett.
Dual fan model for some reason.
Anyways what would be the best way of cutting it into my standard tower case.
Make a series of drill hole like a grid or that out a complete cirlce???

It should be the other way around.

It looks like it should go in fan up but guess it can act like an exhaust/blowhole.

Have to say I've seen cases that fitted their PSU upside down. I've also had many cases that didn't have the correct opening on the back for standard PSU. Just recently I had to make modifications to a Gateway case to take a standard ATX PSU. I also have a cheap ATX case that doesn't fit a standard ATX PSU either without some metal work.

ROTFLMAO!
you silly billy, remember -- intake comes from below on these new fancy dual fan psu's -- otherwise we'd all be making a post like this or cutting stupid circles into the tops of our cases. You sure you know what you're doing?

jabberwock

well had to cut the out the back for the power supply to fit.
