Modular Power Supplies in a Bit Fenix Prodigy?

So I've heard that modular power supplies don't fit very well in the prodigy. I'm looking at building a mini-itx computer in this case and i have a Corsair TX750M that I want to put in it. Yes I know it is semi-modular but I just want to double check before I commit to this power supply. Can anyone confirm or deny if modular power supplies fit in this case?

I purchased a Prodigy 2nd hand with a SilverStone Strider PSU in it. Looking at its specs is 140mm deep.

 

While it was in it when I got it, I have NO IDEA how. Once I removed it refitting it was crushing cables.

 

I highly recommend a PSU shorter less than 140mm deep if going modular.

 

Do you mean the CX750M? if so its 160mm deep, no chance.

Modular doesn't mean yes or no. Length does.

 

The PSU cage is 180mm deep, you want at least 20mm of space for cables. With the TX750M being 160mm you're officially be fine.

I'm using a modular 160mm PSU in my prodigy right now (enermax enm750awt) that is very tightly stuffed inside (back PSU bracket is bowing). You should be fine with the tx750m, but I wouldn't recommend it if didn't have it already.

And yes, modular does matter because it sticks out more and can't be pat down as easily.
