I have a Rosewill Redbone U3 ATX, which I am very happy with, but I haven't bought a PSU yet (waiting for the price to drop). I have this old Dell desktop that I know is working, so I pulled the power supply to see if my system is working. However, the PSU doesn't physically fit into the case (the bottom part of the PCI slots is blocking it from entering fully) ,and I can see that the screws don't line up properly. What should I do? Also, the power supply is a 375W Dell PSU

This is my first PC build and I didn't expect things to go amazingly smooth, but I didn't expect this either. Thanks in advance.

Don't use it in the case. If you want to test your system with it, leave it outside the case for the test. Some OEM PSUs like Dell uses are proprietary in design.

I did that, and everything works fine so that's good, but is there any way to actually mount it into the case? I know I won't be ordering a PSU anytime in the very near future (regardless of the status of this PSU).

First, list your system specs. That PSU won't run much of a gfx card if the PC is destined for gaming.
