Im trying to use my old tower for a new build... Its a 2008 HP (m9180f) w/ a mid-sized tower... The measurements of the stock PSU is 6X4.5X3.5...

I plan to drop in a new mobo, psu, ram, gpu, cpu...basically everything...Im pretty sure the the mobo will fit since its a standard Micro-ATX just like the HP mobo.....I know the gpu will fit....but the power supply I dunno...they dont really sell "mid-sized" ATXs from what Im seeing...

Will standard ATX fit in this thing?

ATX PSUs do not come in various sizes like PC cases since ATX is a universal standard, which means the dimensions of any ATX PSU should be the same whatever it's make & model, including the positions of the threaded mounting points.

I recently replaced the PSU in my son's ten year old Packard Bell mid-tower and just picked up an ATX PSU off the shelf in PC World. It fitted no problem.
