So i got the Antec P182 (with a standard ATX sized PSU slot) and the Antec CPX 850 (850w CPX sized PSU)

obviously, not gonna fit

so i had to do a little modding to the case, heres the results:



PSU next to the back of the case, as you can see, the venting is perfectly sized, however theres no holes for a CPX PSU

From the side we see that the noise-reduction parts that would usually incase a standard ATX power supply are completly in the way, they have to be removed

Posted Image


First off: Remove the bracket that would go OVER the normal ATX PSU

The internal workings of the P182, dust filters and all

Pretty Bare with no drive bays:

After getting the CPX PSU into place, as you can see towards the bottom theres 3 small rivet holes that had to be drilled out to remove the ATX platform, there are 4 more on the bottom of the case that had to be taken out

Backside of the case with the cables roughly tied up, not gonna wire manage untill i get something in OFC:


Posted Image


The results: as you can see theres the old ATX enclosure, as well as the mess made by drilling out the rivets and widening a few holes/creating a new hole for the CPX power supply to screw down into place

Posted Image


And finally, the finished product, i had to swap the fan from the PSU slot in backwards, it will fit the other way but practically piggy backing onto the PSU fan, this obviously blocks be from using the drive bays, but theres plenty more ^^
