I can't quite tell if it is a standard size power supply.

well to me it looks like its a smaller psu than one youd find in a regular ATX case. the fan looks like a 60mm but i cant be sure. over all it looks like a nice case though. and you cant go wrong with newegg.

Nah, i'm pretty sure thats a normal sized PSU, going from the size of the powerplug... the only constant there.
I looked on the back of my comp and they seem to take up rougly the same amount of room.

it is a standard atx powersupply. they even have a close-up on it and the sticker says ATX 12V powersupply. Also if you compare it to the 5 1/4 drive bay, you should see it. all cases with horizontal bays have a little space on the side of the psu, but in this case there is almost none and if you look at the front, that cd rom would just be slightly wider than the case.

that's what I was thinking. I have that none of the stores in town have one in stock so I can measure it. I hate to take my chances on this and find that it is not standard size. Well, may have to gamble. I post if it is when I get it.

May be a while though. Some other stuff just came up (house stuff) and I may be broke for a littlt while. ;-)

Yes, I have a micro-ATX board. I am trying to find a halfway decent case that takes up very little room, that takes a standard power supply, and is mATX. I am working on a build and I am just weighing my options. Right now I am working on modding my Antec Aria, but it has some short comings. This "seems" better for my intentions.

I need more money to be able to not just upgrade the one Rig that i have... i want to be able to play around with a few µATX systems.
