Anyone know anything about finding old CaseLabs parts?  I bought a Mercury S8 some time after the "7 Gamers 1 PC" video and I was really looking forward to building my next new PC, 1st ever water cooled build.  But then I was out of cash and buying a house so it sat in the closet for 3+ years.  Now I'm finally procuring parts piece-meal for my new system and when I went to mount the power supply I found the thing is hovering off the bottom by almost 1.5cm!  It does seem to hold itself well but I'm not sure if I can let that go like that, it's a somewhat heavy Corsair RM1000x.

I never bought the PSU support bracket when I had the chance, I never thought I'd need it.  Any ideas?  I'm good with even a janky solution as long as it's not a fire hazard (stack rubber washers under the end maybe, etc).

Thanks!

Just cut some wood and toss it under the PSU?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

There are those little foam pads other companies sell that are meant to tighten things up and damp vibrations in circumstances like yours.  You could probably use one of those.  I think the new popular Lian Li DeBauer case uses something like it.  

 

Edit:

O11 Dynamic by Lian Li?  Someone Google it.

Also, even insulating foam for around exterior doors may work.  They have adhesive backing.  You'll just have to cut it down.

Jebus!  I could be wrong but I went back and watched the "7 Gamers 1 PC" video and it looks like they needed the PSU mounting bracket and instead just stuffed some of the power cables under the PSU.

hey, if it works it works, right? ?
