Well, you can do what I did with my PSU. Take it out and sit it on top of the case. Although I had to do that AND remove the cover so I could have a fan blow cool air on it! Seems it will overheat if I don't have it this way. And that wattage calculator that is somewhere online said I only need 285 watts! I guess it's that wattage per rail thing or whatever that was.

Hmm, that's quite a firehazard you have there then. One piece of dust in the wrong place with the cover off and wham, especially when the psu is working at full speed and barely cooping under the presssure

What are your specs then Buffalochips?
