    So the hole for the psu is way to big for any standard psu

    Well, here is how it goes, the standard one goes perfectly in the hole, but then ofcourse has no where to put on screws to hold it securely.

    I know they have brackets out there like on ebay, but I don't know if they will fit my case.

    Can somebody give me some info as to which one I need?

    thank you.

    I have contacted alienware department and asked them if they they sell it, and they told me its an old product and that they dont.

    And if you guys can tell me where I can buy this part, that would be awesome.
