Re: choosing a power supply for a desktop self build ?
Power supplies are pretty bog standard standard and cases usually have the fittings to accomodate most of them. Go for the case you like the best and pick a power supply after that though.
The motherboard size is the main factor to take into account. ITX/mITX will be listed on the motherboard page for the case compatibility.

Re: choosing a power supply for a desktop self build ?
Whats the rig for ?
Major arsing about like using the net, watching porn, downloading ? or playing games? What grafix card you putting in ? How much memory will you have ? How many hard drives, CD/DVD players/writers etc ? This is what is in mine and I run, 2 Hard drives, one with the OS on and the other where I store my games I play, 1 DVD read writer. an 8800 Nvidia gfx card! And the case is canny, just looks pretty in the dark as it glows blue and flashes red when accessing the hard drive
