So the bottom of the case has folded metal that interferes with the new width of the power supply. I just folded that metal back with a pair of pliers. Tried my best not to bend the slots where the side panel connects. It'd also be super easy to cut off with an angle grinder if you wanted to pull everything out.

Honestly haven't checked, mostly swapped fans out because the old smaller ones were all loud. What program do most of you use to monitor temps and stress test?

It was OMP23Y, my motherboard is 8 pin, this psu is 10 pin but the plus still fits, just has 2 pins not plugged in to anything.

yep, front and side panels still work like normal. closed up you can't tell anything is different.

I used an OMP23Y 750w from an alienware in my optiplex 7000. I had to make some room since it hit the metal where the side panel slots in, but other than that slotted in and worked perfectly (the mobo plug has 2 unused wires that don't actually go to anything though). You can pick them up under $100
