    Question Lian Li PC-60 - ideas for stuffing a second PSU in this case

    I picked up an old LL PC-62 case for free (was getting pitched) now I'm not a fan of LL cases in general but hey it was free I chopped out the back of it to fit a 120mm fan back there instead of the old 80mm. Put a Q6600 and a GTX260 in the case running off an Antec Smartpower 2 500W PSU. Works great.

    I want to stick another GTX260 in this PC (I fold). Issue is I don't want to tax the old 500W Antec too much, not sure if it could handle the Q6600 and two GTX260 cards at full load so I got the idea of sticking this 350W Antec Smartpower 2 in there as well to help with the load. Issue is, it won't fit in the 5.25" bay like I was hoping

    Any ideas how to get this PSU in there? Or could the 500W handle it long-term? Or am I screwed and either need a different case or just a single more powerful PSU?

    I am going to shoot you!
    LL PC62's are rare and perfect for sammy's even with the 80mm in back and the 2-80's in front..
    Don't carve this up PLEASE!

    I'm looking at it and I don't see how sammy board would fit in there? I thought they were longer than most ATX boards? The P35-DS3P already is only about 1.5 inches from the 5.25" bays. I had to leave the HD bay out of the case because the GTX260 was hitting it

    The case isn't even in good shape. Part of the reason I got it for free is it is kinda banged up.

    I wasn't looking to do too much chopping to fit another PSU in there really. But that 80mm in the back just had to go, wouldn't trust cooling a working Q6600 to just that

    OK so maybe this is a PC60 then. It won't hold EATX.

    I just didn't see that model on the lian-li site so I assumed it was the PC62 since that's what was listed. But I see now that it isn't since it doesn't even have a removable tray to it.
