Antec P180b case - new PSU

Hi all,

I have an Antec P180b case and am looking for a power supply for the latest graphics cards (GeForce 9800 GX2) so I'll need to have at least 1x 8-pin connector and 1x 6-pin connector.

Finding one's not the problem. Finding one that will fit my case, is.
Anyone know of any PSUs to fit my case?

I really don't want to have to buy a new case and PSU AND Graphics card!

Any ideas?
Cheers.

What are the maximum dimensions your case can support for a PSU?

Well, I've been trying to figure that out. Can't seem to find that information anywhere!
Case specs form the website: http://www.antec.com/specs/P180_spe.html but no mention of max PSU size, neither is it mentioned in the manual.

If it supports an ATX motherboard it ought to support standard ATX PSU's. What PSU are you currently using?

I don't understand why you can't just grab a measuring tape of sorts, remove your current PSU and take a look at what you're working with. There aren't any tricks, I mean it's a square dimension and the new PSU will either fit or it won't...

Dimenions of my CoolerMaster extreme power 650w are: (w)15 cm x (d)14 cm x (h)8.6 cm
Do you know of any 6 and 8-pin PSUs matching this measurement?

Couldn't measure my PSU/case as I'm at work at the mo'!
