Micro Atx versus Atx?

[Rosiv]

What is the difference between Micro ATX and ATX? My motherboard,

stated that is was Micro ATX. Does this affect what power supply it uses? If so, what kind should

I use? I am asking this question in relation to my first post on the escapist about my Power

supply issues, and how when trying a new Corsair Power Supply,

I failed to get a boot. My previous power supply that died was this,

and i just ordered the power supply below, hoping it will work,

ATX and mATX are Form Factors, which refers to standardised sizes/dimensions. The only difference between them is their size/dimensions, and with the ATX being the larger of the two it can fit more things onto the PCB (printed circuit board, the 'base' of the mobo). Both use standard 24/20+4 pin power connectors.
