Hi, I've just bought some stuff to upgrade my computer and I am concerned my case may not be suitable as it's an Inspiron case, I'm using this as the base since I bought this half a year ago with the intention of upgrading in the first place (Building wasn't an option etc).
Anyway, I got this PSU: Corsair CP-9020006-UK AX 650W Professional Gold Modular Power Supply (PSU) - Scan.co.uk
And the case is a Dell Inspiron.
The issues I foresee are the current PSU has the following measurements.
150x85 with an inward depth of 140mm and the new PSU has an inward depth of 160mm with an extra 1mm on the 85 side (My measurements may be off of course but the 20mm blackhole remains).
Also, the fan won't be going out but into the computer I assume, so I need to work out how to best manage this additional airflow... and the card I'm shoving in is an EVGA GTX 460.. or this:
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Superclock - EE (External Exhaust) Graphics Card - 1GB - 01G-P3-1373-ER - Scan.co.uk
I guess I could supply some photographs of mobo and internals if need be but I think a new case is on order, no?
I'd be looking to buy something in the £20-£40 bracket.. if somebody wants to propose something. I'm game for drilling holes in the case though, doesn't bother me about warranties and such with Dell... I already broke it by putting these in anyway, no? ^^
