Anyone know the best one that comes with, or can as an option, a normal 300watt or more PSU? Just wondering as micro-atx cases arent something that get discussed much and I'm looking for a good one. Ease of use a plus (drive rails, thumb screws or screwless, etc..)

I think most if not all mATX cases will come with mATX PSU's. You may just want to get a PSU-less case and buy a regular ATX PSU. Just make sure it'll fit.

Ok, so anyone know of any m-atx cases that you can buy fairly cheaply without PSU's but you know normal PSU's fit in?

The inwin 500 series will accept standard psu's- The v523 model is particularly nice, breathes well, almost impossible to find in beige vs black. Casedepot offers the functionally similar LiteON ST050 with a variety of standard psu's. Standard cases> minitowers> c36600. Newegg has one Enlight with yewgli blue front, and Directron has a FongKai model w/ 300w psu- low end Enhance, OK, but noisy. Thes last two are a little larger.

A conventional layout minitower needs to be at least 14" deep to take a standard atx psu.

Anyone know where you can get a v523 without a psu? Seems a bit lame to buy one with the 180watt for 50 shipped then turn around and spend another 20 on a PSU, at that price, I may as well get an Antec or something.

I think the Coolermaster 6xx series are mATX cases w/ support for regular ATX power supplies.

If you are OK with a desktop case, there are a few options incuding the Coolermaster case above.
