    I've got an Antec One case, and a Corsair CX600M.

    Assuming I've got everything the right way around (fan facing up, power connection out the back) , none of the PSU screw holes are aligning with the case holes.

    I don't really want to RMA it to HWV unless I really have to.
    It's wedged pretty tight, can't move it at all unless I apply a fair bit of pressure. Any chance I'd get away with it?

    :o

    Lol. I'm an idiot. The PSU mount is at the bottom of the case, and if I point the fan downward all four holes match perfectly

    It should fit both ways.

    Three valuable lessons learned from my first build:
    1. Don't start when you're tired, and don't keep going trying to get it finished when you can't work out what's wrong.

    2. Don't pay any attention to generic build advice on sites, such as "always have the PSU fan facing up"

    3. Most importantly, don't post on Boards about it until you've stepped away from the problem for 5 minutes
    (ironically, the couple of minutes I took out to post cleared my head enough that I instantly saw the problem)
