ATX power supply?

Postby petepav@yahoo.com » Sun Aug 21, 2011 5:27 pm

I want to put a new power supply in my Acer Aspire Micro atx case (15"x15") will a standard size fit in my case ? This one looks nice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... _-17371003

What do you think?

Are you sure your case supports the ATX standard?

On a positive note that's the unit I'm rocking in my Phenom build (see sig). This computer is out in the garage in Texas where we've had 15 or 16 days in a row of 100 F weather. This computer runs 24/7 and is two or three years old. Power supply is still rocking away.

Easiest way to check if its a standard ATX power supply is post a pic of it. Try and get the power rating label in. Stands a good chance it is a standard ATX PSU most builders stopped with custom units unless it was the super small form factor for the shoe box size and smaller builds.
