I bought my new psu and it came in the mail today:

and here is the case I have:

This is my first computer I have built, but I built it a few years ago and have done many upgrades since then. Luckily, my case came with a psu so I had never installed one myself before because my original one was pre installed. When I installed my case, after a while of moving it around I was able to screw it in and got it to fit after a short while.
The psu fits in the case, but with it in, it goes over the spot where my fan slot on the top was.
Did I do something wrong in my installation? I looked at the old psu and the new one beside and each and I noticed the new one was quite a bit bigger but I thought any case could fit any fan(yes, I am a noob).
If anyone knows, did I do something wrong.
Also, if its just the case, I might be getting a new case anyways soon, so will the psu not fit in any midtower or just my midtower because I'd be willing to get a full tower if needed.
Would it be hard to make another fan whole a little bit over till I can afford a new case or would that just be to expensive?

well if it is screwing in OK, then I would just say that it must be too big for the case. :confused:
 
My friends Silverstone SST power supply covers up the top fan spot in his Thermaltake Armor case. Sometimes power supplys are too big, Sometimes the case is too small, and other times the case was just designed stupidly.
 
Alright, I think im gonna go to home depot now and get some supplies to make a few holes for the new fan spot.
