Ok i think I need a new power supply but there is one problem are all the power supplies that same size?
I currently have a eMahcines microATX case with a 250watt powersupply, i wanted to upgrade it to a 300 watt or 350watt powersupply but I am not sure if it will fit in my case, because all the powersupplies I have seen are in an ATX form, what should I do without buying a new case? Im saving that as a last resort.
