Smallest case with standard PSU.

Any ideas? I'm thinking MicroATX, but would like to stick with a standard power supply, as my history with power supplies isn't so good, I want to make sure I have a replacement plan.

Thanks.

What have been doing that causes your ps to crash?

I run most of my computers 24/7 for about 8 years.. Seems I'm always in for a new PSU after 4-5 years.

Thats some harsh usage there.
Do you use Windows? If so, how does it handle the 24/7 useage?

An Ultra Microfly mATX cube case takes standard ATX PSUs. You can buy them from TigerDirect. Another choice is the Silverstone SG-01 cube.

The Microfly is probably the best cubeish case.

I'm not seeing much difference between the Microfly and the QPack...

Microfly is a little deeper, the QPack has problems with some longer PSUs and longer DVD drives not fitting together (the Newegg user reviews go into this).

I have a Microfly Case and it uses a full size PS, the finish is excellent. Worth the bucks for a small case with a full sized supply. Uses Matx board.

Newegg never has and it's been out at least 6 months so they probably won't get it any time soon.

I'd still buy everything else there though since their customer service is (in my opinion) much better than TD's

The qpack fits my NeoHE 550 and two optical drives. One of the drives is a little longer, but it worked because I was able to flip the psu over so the cables don't run into it.

The ASUS T3-PH1 will do, but it has propietary mb. (p5b-bn)

I just bought the MicroFly from ZipZoomFly with 400 PSU for $80-50 MIR. Excellent case for my first stab at an SFF rig. The included 400 watt unit has extra short cable runs, so it is a better fit for the case than adding an aftermarket unit, expecially considering my lower end hardware in the SFF.

microfly is a superb case, just built the wifey a new pc with it
