Prototype case and 1U PSU

[cheftonyganza]

I am looking at a new case, and I want something different or something I can mod. So I stumbled upon this one:

It seems very small for a a full size ATX case and I like the Line-x coating and design - definately something nobody else will have.

The thing is it uses a 1U Power Supply.

I think 1U PSU's are server power supplies.

If I get the case, what do I need to know about 1U power supplies?

They seem to only go up to 300 watts, is that enough for a P67 motherboard and a single graphics card like an HD 5950?

Also, will the power connectors fit a P67 motherboard?

Honestly, I'd avoid all the hassle of dealing with a server PSU and just get this brand-new Lian Li instead. It's almost the same size and the price is reasonable for an aluminum case.

I don't like the stand offs that case uses. I have an older lian li with the same standoffs and they tend to drop when you mount the motherboard.

The Lian-Li goods good, but it is 5 inches longer then the prototype.

It also doesn't have the cool Linex coating and the overall look.

Probably can get it much cheaper then the new Lian-Li.
