I have this case right here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...
and i want to get a new PSU that can power my computer but a different brand then the cheap apevia one.
id like something in the 400-500w range but im not sure what will fit my computer, unless they are all the same size. im concerned because my PC is a MICRO FORM FACTOR and im not sure if all PSU are the same size (as in dimensions) or not.

Are you now using this case and PSU? If so, whaat is the issue? The specs don't look that bad, considering this is a micro ATX case. What are you running in it?

PSU's are generally the same size now. Even in micro atx cases you fit a standard size power supply. I would go with a thermaltake psu or a rosewill psu. I have used both of them and they last for an extremely long time. My computer is on most of the day if not all day. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... is one suggestion.

Do you mean that your motherboard is MICRO FORM FACTOR ? I would be more concerned with the size of the case itself. Not all power supplies are the same size. You can check the specs on newegg and read some of the customer reviews. That might give you a better idea about whether the power supply is too large.

The specs state the PSU is ATX.
