I want to buy a case from newegg. What I'd like to know is if this case would work with my current power supply which is a bronze BFG 550 Watt. almost like picture. But Yeah, could anyone tell me if that psu would fit in this case.?

Is there something that makes your PSU different? Most (almost all) PSU's are built to the same specs, as are most case PSU cutouts. What are you looking for in a case?

It appears to be an ATX case and an ATX powersuply. Should be no problems. Any particular reason you want that case? I rarely link to newegg, but I am lazy with today being a holiday and such. I like this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042&Tpk=antec%20300 I know you didn't ask, just hate working in tiny little cases. I guess I have handraclaustrophobia.

Many times OEM manufacturers like HP and Dell use a 'proprietary' (read: non-standard) sized psu in their pre-built rigs. A standard atx psu like the BFG500w that you have should fit in any aftermarket/ open market atx case.
