I want to replace the psu of my tc-866 however I have one question:
From my research, the psu is a standard fsp atx psu, with 140x150x86 as its dimensions.
My concern is if I wanna install a psu with 160x150x86 as its dimensions, will it still be able to fit? considering that the case has a tab that you need to push back to release the psu as seen below.
Can I just bend this metal backwards or is it just fine to install a longer psu?

    If you put a linger PSU in, it will simply push that tab down a bit. It won't affect the functionality as long as you have the screws on the outside of the case seated correctly to hold it in place. You might get a little buzzing if it's not solidly set in place.
