Default Should I buy ...? all your queries before buying something

Moved: From QnA to Hardware Troubleshooting.
-------------------------------------------------------
Just to be sure that we buy the right equipment, so that we do not end up posting on the Hardware that you should NOT buy, I thought that we should have such a thread.

To get started, I am about to order the Aerocool M40 Cube Case for myself - without the power supply (as here we don't have the third Ground pin for the cables) and I intend to build a system back there in Mumbai.

The case looks good, has a few good reviews, videos, and suits my requirement for a mATX based non-gaming system.

My only problem is its compatibility with the PSU's available in India.

The case manufacturer says
Quote:
"Case should not be used with Power Supplies longer than 140mm".
The back of the case looks as below:


So, what do you experts think? Is the case well priced for me? Will I get a suitable PSU / SMPS / Power supply for this case back there in Mumbai (shape / size wise)?

The case looks impressive, especially with the (approx.) 2800 INR price tag. Comes with everything except PSU.

Other items that I will be buying (along with the case) from the same shop:
(1). 1TB External WD myBook Essential 2.0 USB2.0, 16MB Cache, 7200 RPM. Price 7700 INR (approx.).

(2). All in one 3.5" Card Reader. Price 640 INR (approx.).


And, I really hope that the customs do not have problems with my purchases
