How can I make my PSU fit in my huge case?

I recently traded for a full tower on Craigslist; it's a Thermaltake Armor Plus. I also have a CX600 watt power supply that I intend to use for a build with this case. Unfortunately, the PSU seems to be way too small. As in, it fits in the intended slot at the top of the case, but it does not line up properly with ANY of the screw holes. Is there some kind of adapter I can buy to make it work? Or are there any creative solutions I need to attempt?

Here's a link to a case very similar to the one I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133154

I don't think you know what I mean... the front of the PSU, which is usually overlapped by the case, is too small. There is no way to screw it in. It's just sitting there with nothing holding it in place.

The bridge, I believe, is what keeps it from falling? It's by the back area of the PSU, but that's not what I'm concerned about.

If you still think what you're talking about is the solution, please link me the product. Thanks!

It's an atx case with an atx psu,it can't be to small,it shouldn't be to small.
Did you put the fan downwards?
Did you align the holes of the psu with the ones on the open side of the case? The rest should fit too than.

Some pictures,open side i mean when you are installing parts with the motherboardtray still in place,

Close, but not quite my problem! My problem is that the first picture you posted is not the same as how my case looks. I think I need to buy something to attach, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about. Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/AcQItyk.jpg

Any suggestions?

Well it looks indeed that you need a kind of psu bracket.It should come with the case and if it doesn't maybe you can find it second hand or you could try to contact thermaltake to see if they can send you one.

Maybe the person you traded with still has it and can send it to you.
