MicroATX Mid Tower PSU

I was curious if a regular ATX power supply would fit in a micro atx mid tower like this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811164121
or would I have to get a micro atx psu?


Thanks

I belive you need a micor ATX PSU for that case since it has the little support lip for the psu in the case.

It looks like a standard ATX PSU would fit, a micro ATX PSU is very small and usually mounted on the side rather than the top.

Yes it will fit at standard ATX PSU.

It will only fix micro-atx motherboards, but the case is a mid-tower.

I stand corrected. My guess would be that Micro ATX PSUs are used in boxes like shuttles then?

Yes, that would be the primary use of a Micro PSU. Every Micro type tower that I have used would accept an ATX PSU.
