What is the best power supply type to buy for this case? The manual says "Standard ATX PS2". But I don't see "ATX PS2" as a category for the newegg power supply page. The cooler master web page for this model says "compatible with virtually all Power Supplies". That sounds good, but what if I buy one it's not compatible with? ATX12V has over 200 PSU on newegg. Can I assume this case is compatible with all the ATX12V PSU? What about ATX12V / EPS12V category? It has over 300. Thanks in advance for clearing up my confusion.

The type of power supply is more dependant on the type of mobo and video cards than on the style of the case. I believe most power supplies are similar, except the connectors. Some have different plugs to support like sli and so on.
