    ok, i have the m/b, and i just ordered the case (link below). now, i've got to get a p/s, but i don't know exactly what to look for (brand vs price, etc).

    would this p/s work (it is an atx p/s, but the case says atx ps2 p/s, is this the same thing)? thx, for any input. - sos

    power supply = life support. Dont do cheesy! Go as big as the case can accommodate. A larger power supply will run extra case fans without wheezing and keep your investment from achieving critical mass. As one wise ol' geek once told me 'would you expect to cool an entire house with one window-unit air conditioner?'

    PSII just means the dimensions of the PSU. PSII is the common/standard ATX PSU.

    Zalman is a good brand, and the one you showed looks pretty good. If you're going for a quiet setup, then that is what I would get. Decent price too.
