thats awesome! so you didnt use tapped holes right? just screwed into the vent holes? sounds kina risky like that would be easy to strip if you tighten them at all. does it feel pretty tight or is it a little loose?
In that photo, the bottom right screw is in a tapped/threaded hole. The screw directly above it is in a hole that's in metal as thick as the threaded holes, not part of the PSU's vent holes. The 2 screws on the left are in vent holes, but there was zero flexion in that vent screen and there was no issue tightening the screws. There is zero wobble.
On a side note, I'm a little bummed to find out that the loudest thing in my case is the Antec 620 Kuhler pump. It sounds like sand running around in the pump, but I suppose it's air bubbles? Also, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with 57C temp idle at desktop. This sounds like something is wrong... I'll have to research what other's experiences have been with it.
