I am building a custom case based on a mATX form factor. After the final assembly I powered up the system and ..... nothing :mad: Seems like the PSU didn't have enough power for a XP1700, DVD, HD, 120mm fan and watercooling (a generic 145W POS should be enough right?) The system worked with this PSU before the W/C was added so I figured that I will work with the W/C (less fans) but alas it doesn't.

Here is my question - I want a good PSU but I can't find one in the old mATX form factor all the stuff is in SFX. Can I stuff a SFX PSU into an old mATX PSU enclosure? Has enyone opened one of the SFX PSUs?

BTW if you want to see the case you can read my project log at bit-tech
 
Those are the SFX form factor, I am looking for the ones that are 150x100x85 - it's a less deep version of the ATX.
