Power supply physical size

[Pghpooh]

HI
I have 2 cases.
The one I am using now is the Anter SX 830. Antec SX30
The other one is the Antec Lanboy. (minus the power supply) Lanboy
I built my current pc several years ago and used the sx 830, Last year I bought the Lanboy with hopes of of building a new system.
After looking at the Lanboy I am not sure if I like it. It's much smaller and with the aluminum build I'm not sure if it is study enough. I have grandkids that like to sit on the older sx 830 case and it's built like a tank!!!
I want to buy a new power supply so I can start my new system off right. Since I don't know what motherboard or cpu I will use I think I want to get a power supply of between 550 and 600 watts.
Now, I am assuming that all power supplies are of the same size (dimensions) and I can use anyone I want in either case.
Am I right??? (or wrong???) LOLOL
Thanks

You are right, look here Pghpooh:

Compatible with any ATX12V power supply

My suggestion for a PS: TP-II 550

The only variable that changes is depth. Some of deeper than others.

Standard length is 5.5". Most PSUs of 600W and up are longer (deeper) from 6" up to about 9". Hmmmm... The Fortron FSP550-60PLG or FSP550PLG-SLI are some of the best $85. (per Froogle) you can spend on a PSU.

I would definately take a good look at the FPS(Fortron) PSU`s!!

In the price range they are in they just cannot be beat by a comprably priced PSU!!

HI
I'm a little slow answering here as I baby sit my 2 grand kids several days a week and that is time consuming.
Thanks for the info.
