Right! So,
Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144219
Power Supply - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341001
I'm having a liiiiittle bit of trouble getting the power supply's screw holes to line up with the holes in the back of the case, even though I can get one screw (the bottom right) to fit, the other three holes seem to be just slightly off center. Actually it's not so much the holes are off center, as the power supply doesn't seem to quite line up... but I'm not entirely certain how to describe it. It seems like it SHOULD fit, but something is keeping the power supply from lining up perfectly with where it goes.
Unfortunately all I can try to provide are descriptions, since I have nothing in the way of digital cameras that I can use to provide a clear idea of what's happening. I've been trying to make the holes line up for an hour now with no real luck. Again, one of the screws will go in, but I can't seem to get the rest of the power supply to sit quite level enough for the remainder of the screws to go in. Could it be that I have the case on its side as I'm working instead of sitting straight up?

After an epic struggle, I finally got the bottom left screw to go in as well. Neither of the top screws are in place yet, and I'm fairly sure I won't be able to get them to go in. However the supply is in place, it's not moving or jiggling at all, and it appears to be lined up about as correctly as I can get it. Is this ok, or do I absolutely need all four screws to be screwed in even though the power supply is securely in place?
