The Antec 900 is a standard ATX case. Any ATX power supply will fit. Meaning 99% of the units on the market.

$125 after rebate. XFX 80 Plus Gold and fully modular. This unit like all XFX units is made by Seasonic. It's based on the Seasonic X series arguably the best power supply series on the market and saves you about $40 by not buying the Seasonic brand.

You sure you need 850 watts? Check here.

I have owned an Antec 1200 for almost 4 years now and I have built in many Antec ( my go to brand ) cases including the 100, 300, 900, 902 and 1200 and they are all standard ATX cases. ATX is a standard form factor for cases, motherboards and power supplies and ensures they all fit together. Antec cases actually support a wider variety of power supplies than most manufactures because they support the Antec CP series of power supplies that only fit Antec cases as well as standard ATX.

If you just want a small power supply this Silverstone is brand new. It's a good to very good unit but It's no Seasonic X.

Of course if only small power supplies fit the 900 then being it's one of the most popular cases ever made I guess those millions of people who bought it have been running it without a power supply until last month when that Silverstone was released ;)
