Anything that would require the power of the Corsair CMPSU-650TX won't fit into your case (well... not with any good air flow). I would either drop down your PSU, go modular, or look to get a slightly bigger case but not a full size case.... Here is a case for a great price that would fit your needs better!!

PS... I feel your pain!! I carry my Antec 1200 to LAN parties. My next build will be built for ease of use a LAN parties as a secondary PC. I'll probably look at another Antec 300 Illusion build though.

It will fit perfectly, and I have to congratulate you for being one of the few people with enough common sense to go with Micro ATX. Your case however doesn't do so well on ventilation. Have you considered the 120mm fan option?

Here's a cheap one:

I'd probably pick a slighty better one, this one has a reasonable price:

And then there's more expensive models, such as this one:

I'd probably go with the one in the middle.
