Solution
This is your Case Dimension :

•Height: 39.6 cm (15.6 inches)

• Width: 18 cm (7.09 inches)

• Length: 42.8 cm (16.85 inches)

So I think ATX standard PSU will fit in.


That system uses a standard ATX12V PS/2 form factor power supply unit with the following dimensions (the depth is the only dimension allowed to vary):

150mm W x 86mm H x 140mm D or 5.9"W x 3.4"H x 5.5"D

The new power supply's fan does not blow down. It pulls air from inside the case and exits out the vent holes on the back.
