ATX psu's sizes?

[Dink]

what i'm wondering is that, are all atx psu's the same size?

well it is mainly the depth as my blu-ray drive and psu are touching and pushing the drive a bit forward on the one side so pushing the front cover slightly open.

They aren't all the same size. ATX size is a standard, but many PSUs are longer as manufacturers take advantage of the extra room afforded by many cases.

Only smaller wattage PSUs tend to be standard ATX size.

Most reputable PSU manufacturers but the product dimensions on their website too. Maybe worth checking if you're saying that space is tight?

Touch wood - I've been lucky with all my PSU purchases so far!

yeah it seems that the height and width are the only sizes that are standard

just need to find a decent psu that is less than 15cm deep

Huge monolithic cases FTW

What everyone else said though.

what like a thermaltake xaser III that weighted over 25Kg with all the components fitted? lol

anyone recommend a couple of good makers of psu's that i can look to find one that fits and is a fairly decent price

I had the Xaser III, absolute beast of a case! I moved house about 3 times whilst I had that case and it wasn't much fun.

PSU's: Corsair, Hiper, Tagen, Coolermaster and OCZ spring to mind. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ always have a good selection.
