new computer PSU

[kizzo 10+ year member]

I have this case right here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144162

and i want to get a new PSU that can power my computer but a different brand then the cheap apevia one.

id like something in the 400-500w range but im not sure what will fit my computer, unless they are all the same size. im concerned because my PC is a MICRO FORM FACTOR and im not sure if all PSU are the same size (as in dimensions) or not.

Most ATX power supplies are the same size. However with my dell it was a OEM specific form.

Thermaltake is the best brand for PSU also, most reliable.

also are you having power issues? the computer i build is still running strong over a year using the oem power supply
