PSU cover, does it exist? clearly it does, look at the corsair obsidian, but is there one for retail i could purchase for my new computer case so i dont have to spend 320 for that one nice feature. its a nice case, but not what i want, i just am interested in that sheet of steel over the psu that hides it when the door is closed and you are looking through the window, is there somthingi could purchase to cover that that is similar in concept? sry for being mr block of text, it is getting late and i am having trouble typing. | My System Specs |

And I'm having trouble understanding your question. If it is just that you want a cover for your computer, they are available a lot cheaper than the price you mentioned.

If you Google for "computer cover", you will get many returns, but here is one as an example: Nylon & Vinyl Dust Covers and Marine Grade Outdoor Covers if you look at the inside of a corsair obsidian there is a long sheet of steel covering where the psu is installed so it is hidden when the door is shut, there is a large window on it, so when you look in, it looks like there is no psu, when in reality it is just UNDER the sheet metal, to access, just open the door, and its open on the side. visit new iegg to see what i am saying if you are having trouble understanding still | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number was an hp, now is modified to mostly an NZXT corsair OS windows 7 home premium CPU amd phenom 2 black ed. 3.4ghz quad core Motherboard AMD am3 24fsb Memory 10 gb DDR3 Graphics Card ATI Radeon 6970 Monitor(s) Displays 3 1920x1080p 23" monitors (eyefinity display) Screen Resolution 5770x1080 Keyboard logitech g15 Mouse cyborg rat7 Case NZXT Phantom Cooling fan Hard Drives 1 750 gb HP 7500 rpm Internet Speed 24434kbps download rate |

I think the lad is after the separator thing that divides the lower half where the PSU sits from the upper half where the mobo is.
I dont know the name of it either :P | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Enterprise CPU Intel Pentium Dual E2200 @2.2GHz Motherboard Gigabyte II-G31 Memory 4GB Graphics Card Palit GForce 9500GT 1GB Sound Card onBoard Mouse Logitech MX518 PSU 450W Case CoolerMaster CM690 Cooling Corsair H50 Hard Drives WesternDigital: 250GB + 1TB + 1TB + 2TB |

My first thought is that any cover might interfere with cooling of the PSU, the case, or both. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;
