The power unit seems small in dimensions, but I don't have another computer to compare it to at the time. I would like to throw in a cheap 450-500 Watt PSU (found for $30)
Yes they do come in different dimensions. the only time I have really had a problem with it was when I was swapping out the psu on an older dell pc, and the one I was replacing it with was way bigger.
