Did you try flipping the psu over, thats what i had to do to make mines fit...

yeah, its just not a good fit....i guess i gotta mod the case...i wish i didnt have to though...

i have thermal take kandalf and ocz PSU.
it fits. very tight but it does.
(take the top fan out first then put PSU in.)
and i cut out the edge of my top fan so the PSU cable has room to get thru.
thats all i did and perfectly fits.
putting PSU upside down is no good..cuz the screw hole wont match w case'.

No matter which way i put it, the screws wont match up....ive "ghetto" rigged it thou, and its fitting fine....nothing some zip ties wont fix :-D
