The PSU extension

Of all the things I really like about the Qmicra case, there is one thing I don’t… If you want to use a higher wattage power supply, you are limited to around 18 cm in length. Unfortunately, at that length, you run the risk of interference with any optical devices put in the bays. Well, that’s exactly what has happened here. One quick fix would be to drop the drive to the lowest bay, but it’s not an option I have with the radiator placed where it is. So, the decision was made to add an extension to the case.

Here is a quick idea of where the extension will be placed.

After a little bit of filing, I clamped the extension in place, and drilled the holes.

Once drilled, it will be held in place with socket cap screws.

With the extension done, I’ll be moving on to the fan controller. Stay tuned!
