Oh... You gotten bm650 same as my case. Cool.

Yes, that hdd cage is for 3.5", no need to tape at all. If you search for my thread here or vr, you can install a hotswap single bay 3.5" hdd removable rack. I have hotswap on many of my rigs, veryconvenient to swap hdd around for testing and others.

Congrat.

Just as you gotten the BM650, I just confirmed the 180W psu iin my BM650 is causing random power down. The randow power down issue is gone when I tested it with a 108W spare BTX psu from a Dell. Well, my BM650 was bought in May 2011, warranty over.

Looks like I need a new PSU or may be a new PSU + chassis since the replacement cost of the proprietary Power Man PSU should be prohibitive.

Any recommendations?

Powerman used to be FSP oem but Inwin started to produce their own & the QC gone down

powerman lasted only about 1.8years?

Seemed like it man.

Ended up gotten myself a cooler master elite 361 + FSP Hexa 500 watts.
