I currently have an Antec TRUE550 550 Watt ATX12V psu. I am getting a new one but the thing is it needs to be the same size as the one I have now. Like physical size not wattage. How do I look for that? I am purchasing from newegg. And am looking for modular cableing becuase of the limited space. So wat parameters would I use to sort by size?

Just normal atx formfactor. If that's how they call it. IF you got a normal case most PSU's should fit ...

Name the case you've got and it should be easy to tell ...

Sorry, but inches don't mean much to me. You do know what kind of case you have, right ?

These are the dimensions of a 'normal' PSU: Dimensions: 5.9"(W) x 3.4"(H) X 5.9"(L) or in the metric system, 150mm(W) x 86mm(H) x 150mm(L)

Looks to be a normal case, nothing special. Go pick a PSU and ask if it will fit. I'm pretty sure anything you can come up with will fit though :p Just go look for an atx12v PSU ...

Depth is not specified by the ATX form factor.

@OP: There is no easy way to sort based on depth at any of the sites I shop at. My suggestion would be to pick a handful of supplies that look good in other categories, and then visit the manufacturer's page to see if they list physical dimensions. As an arbitrary example, this page lists "Dimension" under "Specification".
