After posting a recent thread I have just finalized my plans for building my gaming pc. Everything other than my psu is decided. My dilemma is just that I bought a Cooler Master V1000 soon before I bought the rest of the components and now I am stuck with an over large and high priced psu. So as the title says I need you guys to help me check if the V1000 will fit inside of the Prodigy M and also as an alternative if the Corsair RM850 will fit. FYI, the graphics card I am using will be the MSI R9 280X gaming so you will have to take that into consideration. Also here are some things I would like you to take note of - Are these psu's too big to hold an Xfire setup, will the modular design be a large constraint? Thanks in advance to everyone who helps me and replies!

Hi - Actually, you need to check that yourself. The Mfg product page says it will accept ATX PSU's. The wodth
& height of ATX PSU's is std, so the CM will fit that way. The length can differ & you just need to measure from the
rear case panel(where the PSU would go) to the 1st obstruction & see if you have enough clearance to fit
the PSU in.

The size of the PSU has no effect on it's ability to SLI/CF. Your Micro ATX/mini ITX mobo would be more of a
concern supporting CF/SLI.

Modular design would be beneficial, not a constraint. Particularly with a smaller case, the ability to use
only those wires & connectors you actually need will be a big plus for air flow and neatness.

Ok I will try your tips but I know about the psu supporting Xfire has nothing to do with it. I am talking in terms of the bitfenix prodigy M where if the PSU is too big it would not allow enough room room to fit in two gpu's.

Hi again - That part shouldn't be an issue as the height of the CM v1000 will be the same as any other
ATX PSU, however, it is possible that an ATX PSU regardless of power might be too tall based on where
the GPU's are on the mobo, meaning you'd have to get a microATX/mini ITX PSU, and I don't believe any of
those have enough power for CF/SLI.
