Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the power supply on my computer because a friend of mine gave me a much better video card than I have, he gave me a Nvidia Geforce 7900 GTX video card. Anyway, the computer I have is a Gateway GT 5228 And I've been getting alot of mixed answers from people as to what the case type is, one says MicroATX,one says ATX and I don't know what to believe. If you look here at the motherboard's home page, it says microBTX Form Factor and I still don't know what that means, so I don't know if a regular ATX power supply will fit. A friend of mine said I shouldn't have problem's installing it but if I do and worse comes to worse, all I would have to do is remove the motherboard first, install the power supply, then put the motherboard back in, and he also suggested I get a modular power supply so I don't have many unused cables hanging out since it might be a tight fit inside. But anyway I just need some help to this subject, and also does anyone know the name of that computer parts store on journal square? I think it's Micro something, I can't remember. Thanks for the help
