    You read it wrong. NewEgg is the edificator. You are the edificatee. Ben is simply an enabler.

    do not use the included power supply, it's junk. The 12v rail drops to around 10v even at around 250watts(which will crash your computer). Anything much higher than that just causes the power supply to shut down. The specs are completely fabricated.

    A normal ATX power supply will fit in, as long as it's not longer than normal, and if your optical drives are of the shorter variety.

    The OCZ StealthXStream 500watt PSU that has been on sale recently for under $20 would probably fit in here nicely, as it's a pretty compact PSU.

    Here's a review of the power supply, as well as a description of the space you'll have for your optical drives with a normal ATX PSU: http://www.jonnyguru.com/PSU/AspireXQpack/420W.html

    There are some other micro ATX cases similar to this that have more space for the power supply, allowing you to use normal size optical drives with a normal sized power supply. The Ultra Microfly case is one of these, and it has been on sale before for $40 on Frys.com.

    Or, if you need even more room, you might consider the NZXT Rogue. It can fit the largest graphics cards, extra-long high-wattage power supplies, and up to 4 hard drives. Plus, it has a very good cooling configuration. However, it does cost more. link: http://www.nzxt.com/products/rogue/
