Non Antec PSU with Antec 3700

rizla · Post by **rizla** » Mon Jun 16, 2003 11:45 pm

I'm considering the Antec 3700 case reviewed on the main site, with a custom modded psu (my supplier can sell the 3700 without the antec psu).

HOWEVER...

My suppliers site also lists the following information:

"No PSU - only Antec PSU is recommended to fit properly"

Has anyone fitted a non Antec PSU to their 3700 case yet? Did you have to bend stuff? OR - is this a likely case of Antec protecting their ability to make money when the case complies with atx standard anyway?

Thanks..

Any ATX PSU should fit.

I've fitted both a zalman 400w and a enermax to it without any problems.

what about any other silencing/cooling gear? Or have you shipped it in from overseas?

thanks,

TO reiterate: Any ATX PSU will fit in the SLK3700. Who's ever writing that copy is really full of it.

Just a hint (in case you're interested in the 3700):

http://www.directron.com sells the 3700 with or without a PSU--OR, it will mount a PSU of your choice in the 3700. BUT, you'll have to search for it... for some reason, its hard to find on the main site.

Hi Riza,

I'm in Sydney. I got the case, without PSU from http://www.computermarket.com.au for $81.60 and a zalman 400w cost me $156.
http://www.pccasegear.com/ has panaflow fans
and http://www.lownoisepc.com/ has papst fans and proper fan isolators
and http://www.msy.com.au/ for general stuff

Side note :p I've found the steel on it to be bit thin and the hard disk dampening to be ineffective. Be prepared to foam mount your hard disks.
