So, will this fit in there, or is it too big?

I plan to buy this microATX case:

Coolermaster Centurion 541


Newegg has two options:

With 380W Coolermaster PSU: 69$
Without PSU: 45$

I already have an extra regular ATX power supply at home, and need to know if it will fit in a microATX case.

Newegg sells both regular ATX and microATX powersupplies, but the included PSU's label says only "ATX12V" on it. So that makes me think that this case can fit a regualr ATX PSU.

Anyway, does anyone have any real ideas about whether this case takes a regular ATX power supply?

Also, if anyone owns this case: What CPU cooler are you using?

It should be able to take a normal PSU. From the looks of the pictures its probably a normal ATX PSU in a microATX tower.

This is the reply I wanted. Also, you couldn't have answered in better words =)

Thank you.


Edit: What motherboard did you use?

That looks like a BTX case. Are those the wrong photos or are they reversed or what?

The original design was a BTX case. Then they made a microATX version of it (this one). But since its based on a BTX design, it looks a lot like it, and the mobo gets installed upside down.

I put in a Biostar T6100 939. Nice little board. passive cooling on the northbridge means quiet operation (unless you use a loud PSU or HSF).

yup, that be true...both PS2 connectors were at the bottom of the case, near the floor.
