Now, due to the fact that the case is trashed, I want to replace it. I'm thinking about this case:

Could I keep the original power supply, and use that in this case, or do I need to upgrade? I want to reuse as many parts as I can from the old, and that includes the power supply. I have heard the supplies included in the new cases are cheap, so that is why I am leaning towards keeping the old power supply.
This is what the current power supply looks like:

The motherboard also has this for the power connector:

What would be a good replacement power supply? I don't plan to do alot with the server at this point, maybe add another hard disk/some memory, and that is about it.
I might decide on another case (with color!
)
cliffs notes questions:
1. the mother board form factor is micro ATX. Can I use this in a regular ATX Midtower case?
2. What type of power supply would I want? I'll use onboard video/etc for the server (nothing fancy)
3. I might add another hard disk, and maybe upgrade the memory some.
4. How would I setup cooling fans? I want to be able to have a nice cool case, and keep dust out of it. What fans should I use?
