External PSUs. Where can I buy them?

I'm looking for an external PSU within maybe the 200 - 350 wattage range, but can't seem to find any. I've been to www.mini-box.com, but their highest is 150watts. Also, I know about the XG Magnum, but given that it's 600 watts, that's overkill.

If such a thing exists and you know where I can purchase one, please post up some links. Thanks. =)

But it's a Mini-ITX case. Will I really need 600w for a Mini-ITX motherboard and one videocard? =P

You can get a single slot card in this case but I just don't know of too many single slot gaming grade GPUs.

When I say "gaming", I mean between Quake 3 and Team Fortress 2, not Crysis and Modern Warfare 2.

I have a really good gaming PC already, but I want to build one that will fit in this box and run at least TF2 or greater depending on how much power I can reasonably cram in there. Also, I want it to run Windows 7 nicely as well.

Older stuff? One of these would work just awesomely for it (hell, I'm still getting some decent mileage out of my 9600 GSO!)

I see that the case can fit an internal ATX power supply, but you dont have to use a full size ATX PS in it.

Have you considered the microAtx and miniITX power supplies that newegg sells? They come in some good intermediate wattages. Might leave with enough room. Brand selection isn't too hot though.
