I've had enormous headaches with power supplies in the recent past. Two Antecs blew up my system in separate incidents. I gave up and used a Shuttle SFF chassis (specs below) to reuse my components and it's done great.
Two years later, I want to do a MicroATX build. I've already ordered the new ASUS P5E-VM HDMI motherboard and 4 GB of G.Skill DDR2, and am waiting for the new 45nm Intel chips to come out. I'm also **probably** going to get the Lian-Li SFF case on NewEgg.
What I want to know is: is there a decent maker of MicroATX power supplies? I want this new system to be reliable. I also note that uATX supplies top out at 400W. SeaSonic and PCP&C/OCZ don't offer any, it seems to be all Taiwanese junk for around $30-$40. Somehow, after recent experience, I don't think I want to go in that direction.
Am I stuck with an ATX case after all? I'm not buying another Shuttle; they're a bit overpriced and they don't give me enough flexibility.
MOD EDIT: Locked because cross-posted to SFF and this one doesn't have any replies but the other does.
