413114 2005-12-16 07:25:00 Metla, you got it this time. Its on the last link you provided. "CX-6059".

If the tower case is upright. The PSU is also upright. Its on the top with its air grille facing towards the drive bays. Its main side of PSU is facing the back of the computer.

But becos I have a micro ATX motherboard it does not stretch further back than the back of the PSU supply so the PSU grille and CPU fan are not facing next to each other.

The CPU fan is underneath the bottom of the PSU, like perpendicular as the motherboard is mounted on the side - the wall of the tower case.

You want at least 17a on the 12v.
As you don't need a lot of watts you should be able to get a quality one for not too much.
Avoid the rubbish ones as you have discovered.
