I have an older, 650w version of it.  I'm pretty sure they're about the same, and mine's has held up for years now and not given me any hiccups.

 

Swapping power supplies is no big deal.  Unplug everything and plug everything back in.  Keep cable management in mind unless you are a mad man without a care to give  :P  Is it a case with a bottom vent for a PSU?  If so keep it off carpet (and preferably just off any ground in general, dust and other yuckies).

Case is this:http://www.sharkoon.com/product/1678/VG4W#desc It has a vent for the PSU and a detachable filter.Case feets are like 3.5 CM long.Should I elevate the case even more or is that good?
