IS there such thing as a microATX case that can use an ATX power supply?

Are there any cases that can only have matx motherboards mounted in them, yet are able to use regular atx power supplies?

I saw a POWMAX acrylic case that looked like it might be like that but so little info is available on it, I cant be sure.

Any microatx case suggestions are welcomed, OR very small ATX cases. Standard size psu mountable preferred.
 
A simple search on newegg.com found about 35 MicroATX-Mini Tower cases... At least some of those will accept standard size PSU's...
 
holy crap you're right, damn they are all kinda ugly though, oh well.

Text <- that case looks halfway decent but still kinda ugly. Impressed they crammed a 120mm fan in a matx case though.
 
The Inwin V-series can also take full-sized ATX. They come with one that's full-sized except for its front-to-rear depth being shorter than most. V564G with nifty card-reader/front-outlet thingie and a 250W Powerman (OEM Sparkle Power) PSU.
 
I think the Ahanix Plasma takes an ATX PSU, but as just about always with Ahanix, the outside is slick and the inside is chintzy. I also like the Silverstone mini Berserker (on gameve.com for $30.+sh) but it uses a new form factor PSU. The new style PSU is available on the aftermarket already though.
.bh.

:moon:
 
I guess I'm going to have lower my standards hahah.

Probably gonna pick up a cheap foxconn/casedge mini atx case that will suffice
hopefuly I can get a hold of a soldam case or something.
 
That looks almost like a supercase but it's not an allied power supply so I don't know. I would go with the enlight though I think you're looking at a higher quality in it, unless cost is an issue.
 
I just ordered this case from that website, and it's great. Includes a good 300W Allied PSU, though 12v rail is a little low at 15A. The buying process was excellent too, the thing showed up at my door two days later.

EDIT: yes, it's a full-size ATX PSU
 
cool I was able to order my Lian Li PC-37A after all, it was a bitch rying to find a place that had one in stock because it was discontinued.
Its as small as most matx cases at about 12" high but a bit deeper to accomodate more motherboards and optical drives.
The case is able to accomodate ATX and mATX motherboards too.
