Good MATX PSU's

[Cook1]

I'm looking into building a shuttle system, loved this so it made me think about doing it. Thing is I don't know any good quality matx psu's. I'd be putting in a S754 with 1GB for RAM, X800/6800GT, DVD Burner and etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable at all with the PSU that comes with this case. Could someone rec. a better PSU?

the psu in the x-qpack is actually pretty good. give it a shot before you wast money on a different one.

Yeah but I don't want that shot to be the kind of shot that takes a few other components with it. I'd rather spend a few extra dollars and get something that is of higher quality is the point.

The problem is that all of the higer power mATX psu's are too long, and will make it hard (or even impossible) to install an optical drive in the x-qpack. Aspire PSU's aren't on Antec, ThermalTake, or PCP&C quality standards, but they are most defintely better than most.

HEC makes some nice ones.

www.directron.com carries them I believe.

The X-Qpack case can take a full sized ATX PSU 150Wx140Dx86H (in mm) if you use the short chassis optical drives. It certainly DOES NOT take a typical microATX PSU which is the SFX form factor - SFX PSUs are from one inch to two inches too narrow across the back for that case. The one that comes in it is slightly shorter than standard ATX and I think the form factor is proprietary for now. The Chenming 118 is an interesting variant with a 300W PSU that has 20A on the +12.
