First time builder PSU problem

[OodlesoFun]

I bought a Fortron 350W PSU from here
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-966&catalog=58&depa=1

and it seems to be too small for the case that I bought from here:

Am I doing something wrong?

The PS looks non-standard with that big 120mm fan on the SIDE of the
unit...I'd exchange that for the usual rear fan exhaust configuration (with
the slightly smaller standard fan...80mm or whatever). It should fit like a
glove.

Should fit. It's an ATX PSU and an ATX case. Is there an adapter plate of
some sort as a seperate item with the case? (the LianLi case I had used such
a plate).

Are you trying to install it upside down? When installed, the fan should be on the
bottom.

If the fan grill isn't flush with the power supply (which yours doesn't
appear to be by the pic I looked at), it's possible that it is keeping the
unit from sliding in. Remove the fan grill, install the power supply, then
replace the fan grill. I had to do that with my Lian Li case and TruePower
430W power supply.
