Can my RM850I PSU fit the newest Meshify 2 Compact case?

[JohnxYiu]

Fractal Design just released their new case Meshify 2 Compact, I'm planning to get one to improve my computer airflow, but I'm having trouble because it says the max psu length is 165mm (with HDD cage + front fans), while I'm using the Corsair RM850I psu with 180mm length.

 

I honestly don't wanna change my psu as its only been used for a year, so I wanna ask if it is possible to use this psu on this Meshify 2 Compact case without removing HDD cage (i have 1 HDD)?

 

I've come up with some thoughts:
(1) put the HDD cage to the front; 
(2) place my HDD on the bottom tray of the cage so there can be some space from the upper tray for the cables to go through it; 
(3) I'm using two 140mm fan, I see the picture from the official site, the two 140mm fans do not occupy any space on the bottom of the case

anyone has some thoughts about this?

looking into it a little, you should be fine if you remove the HDD tray that is in the same area as the PSU because then you can have a up to 200mm PSU and the pics dont show a front fan going that low. it also shows you can put the drives you have behind the motherboard.

are you limited on space? i am wondering because you are looking at the compact designs.

Looks like the Meshify 2 has an optional way to mount HDD under the roof if you look at the PDF manual page 28 from their website.

I didn't see a bottom space without the using drive cage like on the original Meshify C, but maybe it can be done using that bracket.

 

I'm actually using a RM850i on the original Meshify C.

RM850i would definitly fit if I remove the cage, but sadly I need the cage for my HDD

So Idk if i should just try it out without changing my PSU, but guess I don't have much luck on this, may just need to change to some shorter PSU like ROG850

ok, well how big of a space do you have? inches or millimeters. length (back to front) width (left to right) and height (bottom to top)
