Sources for PSU's for micro-ATX (DVR) enclosure

[imported_Kiwi]

Assuming this is the correct forum to ask in, and that I haven't missed some thread once-stickied and now sinking out of sight, the HTPC project here at my place has run into a minor roadblock . .

So far, the PSU's I've found either at retail locally or on the net offering above 250 watts are one of two things I can't use: sub-quality (or an unknown that may *be* sub-quality), else the mounting side faces the wrong way. The mount end measures 2 1/2 by 4 inches, being deeper than it is wide. Fox example, the Enermax 270 watt unit is the same overall physical size, but mounts on the longer 5 inch side instead.

Take it back and get an Antec Aria?

The Aria is quite attractive, so much so that it started me on the small form factor journey. But it will only mount a single optical drive and has severe problems staying cool enough when used to enclose an even halfway powerful setup. So it didn't make it past the first cut for shopping criteria. And even if Antec was selling the psu from that box, it's a totally unique shape item that was custom fitted to the Aria.

Just tryin to help, im gettin an aria, check out this rig.

It's a standard SFX PSU just mounted vertically instead of horizontally. Fortron/Sparkle and Enermax are supposed to have 270W units. But they aren't cheap...
