    Exclamation New case, psu didn't. Will this case fit?

    Hi, I stupidly bought a cheap £8 case off ebuyer hoping it would fit my system which would reach high temps in my old case and then psu didnt fit the new case! Now i'm thinking of getting this new case of e-buyer because it seems like a good deal and i've heard this case is extremely good. The case is a cheiftech MA-O1WD matrix ATX tower case no PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=55649
    My psu is an ANTEC TRUE POWER 330w psu and i thought that would be quite a mainstream psu which is working on an xp2600 cpu. Will it fit this case? Any help asap would be greatly appreciated as i don't see this deal lasting much longer. Thanks again, John.

    I can't comment on this exact case, butI've got a Chieftec Dragon, and it looks fairly similar. This case is much easier to work in than bog standard cases, well built and reduced my temperatures by a fair bit. The only complaint is that it's a fair bit heavier then my old case, but I'm very happy with it!

    the case is identical iirc to a chieftec dragon and a antec 1080amg except the facia is different (maybe a few minor interanl differences but i dont know for sure)

    my 1080amg is big and heavy, not for carrying around but apart from that and only 80mm fans is a great case, could take a nuke and stay standing (not literally but you know what im getting at)

    good case mate and yes its an ATX case and your PSU will fit
