What case can handle 2 PSUs comfortably?

[Trieber]

Yea, anyone know of a case that can take 2 PSUs? I would like to use an Antect\Chieftec but the top area looks a bit small to fit 2 PSUs in it without mounting one somewhere else...

I would really like to use that case and if I must, I'd buy 1 PSU but really don't want to spend a bunch for a high wattage PSU.

Or am I just a loser that is a *****? Ok, input, keep the Antec\Chieftec and get 1 big PSU, or try and mod it for 2, or get some bigass case and get the 2 PSUs?

Also, how is modding the PSU? I read the article, but that doesn't mean anyone can do it, hell, my mom gives me a recipe for a cake and I end up with a rump roast lol.. No seriously, is it easy enough to do in like an hour?

this one is really good, i got it, and several people on here have it, good price for it with a 400watt psu................cools extremely well too, my dad has 6 80mm fans in his

Any in Black lol? White and Beige look tacky to me... Just a preference though.

Well, actually, I am not real sure, but, mine is purple.........lol......love purple. anyway I painted mine and let me tell ya, it looks damn good:D :D
but I dont think there is anywhere you can get a better full tower case with a 400 for that price, ya could always paint it, worked real well for me, mine is the color of that purple antec case and looks just as good....................................

Cool, what did you use to paint? Spray paint? Or some auto paint with an airbrush? I know guys that have used auto paint using fullblown auto detailing stuff and really nice paint... How did you go about painting it? Layer, and then a shell, another layer etc?

Forgot this, do you think it would possible to mod a fileserver Antec\Chieftec to fit 2 PSUs? By the pictures, there doesn't look like much room in the top area to fit em, and I wouldn't want to put a PSU down near the mobo or bottom just for maintenance.. like to have everything all in once place etc etc

all I did was dulled the entire surface of the case, and painted it with rustOleum, Im thinking about making a AMD Athlon stincel and painting it on the side...........the server case, Im not too sure about which one your talking about, got any pics of it, if so, Im sure I would have some good ideas:cool:

If you want directions on how to paint your case, check out the "alternative modding" section of the forum.

The case I'm talking about athlon is the File Server Case, it's their biggest case, but not THE biggest you can buy. I don't have any pics of it on my computer... not like I have computer porn.... lol.. Just joking. Hope you know which one I'm talking about...

Check out this site. Any of the 901 series you could add a second P/S.

The check out this site. Its the same case but has Antec's name on it. The guy moved his power supply down. Looks like plently of room to leave the P/S in Stock space and add a second below.
