LOL

was it not turning on or something?

 

[schizrade]

ROFL. Seen that far too much on some of these self build server cases.

 

[loosh]

it really is a nice chassis, with the exception of the way they have you install the psu.. what were they thinking? i want whatever they're smoking

 

[CMadki4]

Are you any good at modding? That'd be a quick fix if so.

 

[NobleX13]

Wait, what? That is such a terrible and useless design. Better get the Dremel out!

 

[loosh]

not really, but the dremel was my first thought. won't be that hard

I feel such design helps to prolong the fan life inside e psu

Just a thought that it might not needed to work so hard

I'm not sure that makes any logical sense. But I could be wrong.

Yeah they added a second fan for that

I haven't used one of their tower cases since 2003, really liked their beige tower with the semi transparent cherry blue bezel, don't remember the actual name, but they were hard to get.

This gives a better perspective, for us old guys with bad eyes:

My guess would be that they didn't think about the PSU when designing the enclosure, or stopped making the PSU that was supposed to fit it......but with engineers, who knows??

I don't even know what to say to that. Even the people working in the factories that build these things are like 'WTF is this?'

I'd call it a feature and name it: Internal PSU Manual Switch Protection - protects your server from having that power switch on the power supply bumped by accident. None of our competitors do it like this so this is a first for the industry.
