Has anyone replaced the PSU in their TTX3? I'd like to install a new one with a power switch, so I can prevent the box from firing up when I turn on my Vewlix cab's power when I want to play my PS4/360 that are also hooked up in the cab, without having to unplug its power cable. Just wondering if there's anything to be mindful of. After a bit of preliminary research I can see the OEM supply is 600W, i'm assuming ATX form factor. Any tips are greatly appreciated!
 
The main difference is that a TTX3 PSU blows air straight through, whereas the majority of standard ATX PSUs have a 90degree (as in the angle) airflow.
The main fan will therefore be blocked by the TTX3 case in that scenario.

Finding a C13 power cord with inline switch may be a simpler solution if that is your only issue with the unit…

Inline power switch is definitely easier, but you could also turn off restore power after AC loss in BIOS and then connect a switch to the PS_SW header on the motherboard.
