Hello, I have quite a delicate problem and no one from my friends is able to help me. I built a new 1700 dollar desktop last month, but I messed up one important thing. I bought big tower type of case and I bought Corsair SF450 450W power supply. Everything works fine except the power supply is half of the size that the hole at the back of the case so it could be held on 2 screws only instead of 4 but the main problem is lenght of the cables. It's way too short, I had to fix the power supply inside of the case next to HDDs and motherboard to be able to connect everything to it. But it's only temporary and I would like to buy power supply with size and cables long enough to fit into that type of tower but I can find nothing. Can you help me? Case is: Thermaltake VO200M6W2N Armor Revo, Snow Edition

PSUs have a form factor like motherboards. By the sounds of it you have an SFX unit, which would explain the reasons. You need an ATX one. 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Thanks for answers, but there still remains one problem. The cables are too short, they can't reach from the bottom to all components.

This should be all you need: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/premium-individually-sleeved-psu-cable-kit-starter-package-type-4-generation-3-black

 

In addition, if you need longer SATA, you can add this one as well. http://www.corsair.com/en-us/premium-individually-sleeved-sata-cable-type-4-generation-3-black

 

These should be all you need to get them to fit your case.
