There's the inwin v523, 300w powerman(sparkle) psu, everywhere in black, hard to find in beige-

V523

And the similar beige LiteOn ST050, item 36600 at Casedepot.com, available with a variety of psu's... haven't seen them anywhere else....

Edit-bum link, lemme come back on that...

that's a nice case, but it defeats the purpose of microATX: it's the same size as a standard ATX mid-tower. The reason I want a microATX chassis is because I want something small.

That's what I meant by bum link- that links the J523, not the V523, a true Matx case. I've seen 'em with 300w psu's, just not at the moment. V523's definitely will accept standard size atx supplies, I've done it. Some of the other v5XX models are also available with 300w, but they don't breathe as well. Newegg carries the V523's, they're out at the moment, but the pics work.... The LiteOn is also a good box, add a super quiet Seasonic or Fortron/Source(Sparkle) 300w psu-

Directron also carries a Matx FongKai w/ 300w, but it's deeper front to back and the supplied psu is noisy...

ENLIGHT MICRO ATX CASE MODEL # 76020B1

This is a true mATX case that uses a normal ATX power supply (comes with a decent 300W unit) and even has a 92mm fairly quiet cooling fan in the rear. Nice thick metal and does not have a floppy drive cover (normal external bay).
