EVGA 500B PSU barely fits case

Aephious · Jul 21, 2016

I have the RoseWill FBM-01 MicroATX case which says it could fit my PSU, unfortunately the screw holes barely align...

Am I doing something wrong or do I have to modify the case myself?

Is the PSU upside-down?

plywrlw :

no it's in the right way i.e. fan facing down, it's just that the screw holes don't align properly with those on the case.

How annoying. Can you at least get a couple of screws in there? Could always drill some more holes in the case. Budget cases are often a pain in the rear end!

I can only get one screw in there but I have to really put it in an awkward spot. I'm guessing I have to somehow "extend" the screw holes on the case.

Yeah, you might be able to file them so they're a bit bigger

It's not a good PSU , might be a sign not to use it.

Do you know what type of tool should i use to file them?

Something like a Dremel or a pointed hand file might work. You could also use an electric drill to shave off the edge...
