Get a MATX case that can hold a ATX PSU, there's plenty of them around.

any stylish small ones tho? cubes are a bit large and most of the others are grey boxes not much really funky unless you can recomend any?

The Silverstone TJ08 is nice, it's basically a tarted up version of my case. Any smaller and you'll run into serious cooling issues.

they kinda look like large grey boxes after something a bit more stylish!

I'm trying to fit a Corsair VX 450W in a Silverstone TJ-08 mATX case.

Picked the PSU for its five year warranty, and because it was the lowest wattage Corsair model. Ideally I should have paid extra for the HX model with modular cables, as the VX has many long cables.

Silverstone are meant to do a PSU with shorter cable lengths designed for mATX, e.g. ST50EF-PLUS-SC

the ST50EF looks promising! pricey but its a decent wattage, good cables etc, shame its not modular but cant have anything!
