Hey everyone! So, for a couple of years back I bought the HP Pavilion P6305SC (stationary pc). A couple of months later I found out that the radeon HD 5450 was slowing me down, so I bought a new XFX 6870, which required a new psu with two 6-pin connectors, so I bought the Sapphire PURE 625W. After that I bought a TV card (pcie x1). Today I played Bad Company 2, and with the highest settings my components get very warm, which means that I need more than one chassis fan since the TV card isn't making it any better.

So, to fix this problem I think I need a new chassis with more fans. So I thought the Antec Dark Fleet 10 would fit in good, which is 198 × 497 × 488 mm. But the problem is that I doubt the psu will fit, since it's smaller than the standard (150 × 86 × 140 mm, correct me if I'm wrong about beeing smaller than the standard).

So please help me, will the psu fit? I also wonder if the small motherboard will fit: Form factor: microATX - 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches)

(If that doesn't work, try this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01991243&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&destPage=product&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4119696#N68

Thanks alot! /Theo
 
The Sapphire Pure is based on an Enermax design and is a normal PS/2 ATX PSU so will have no problems mounting in the DF-10. I believe the 140mm measurement refers to the depth of the unit, ie how far it 'protrudes' from the rear inside the case. 140mm is indeed quite short for PSUs these days, but isn't in itself any kind of problem.

The DF-30 accepts microATX formats, so again no problem.
