mini tower for epox 8kha+/duron1.2

Anyone have any suggestions on a decent case/psu for a epox 8kha+ running a duron 1.2? was hoping to find something that isnt real big, not a full tower. Actually, a micro case would be nice, but I think too small for the board probably cover the hsf? I'm probably going to end up picking up that 'comet' mid-atx case, but it looked a wee bit large.
I'm assuming that the standard 250w psu in most generic mini-mid tower cases would also be insufficient to run a 1.2 duron system, and I'd be better off with at least a 300w psu if it's generic. Does that statement sound fairly correct?

Thanks a ton in advance for any tips, putting together my first 1+ghz duron, dont want to end up with stuff that's unuseable!


 
I'd be more comfortable with a quality 300W myself. Is there a particular reason you want a small case? If so, how about an EPoX 8KMM+, which is a microATX KM266 board (KT266A plus onboard video and also an AGP slot). That would allow you to go with a microATX case like an Inwin V500, and substitute a 300W psu (it takes standard ATX psu's). The V-series have an 80mm rear exhaust hole. Inwin now makes a black variant of it also.
 
A good suggestion the EPoX 8KMM+, but I have an epox 8kha on the way from the newegg refurb deal. Mostly looking for a smaller case because I'm using my old antec case pc, another generic tower, a compaq pc, and another old generic p200 here at my desk, and it will be really hard to fit another full tower here at the cockpit LOL!

REALLY wish I hadnt missed the dell laptop deals from the end of last month, a new inspirion would sit really nicely up on the hutch! but... live and learn.

Oh the lengths I go through to play me game. everquest.



 
Enlight Mini-mid case comes with 250w ps I believe. The ps is mounted sideways so your heatsink will be sitting right underneath it most likely. Good case though. I have one and like it very much for its size. Fits a full atx mobo, but case size is a mini tower basically.

edit: woops, just read that you dont want 250w. FWIW, I have a duron 700 oc'd to 900 running on 235w just fine.
