Why is it impossible to get one of these with over 300 watts? Do the normal atx psus fit in the in a mico case?

beacuse of the physical size of them... i dont think a normal psu will fit in a micro atx, in fact im almost positive.

Its an old emachines pc I was thinking of updrading, im trying to do it as cheeply as possible.
Surely there must be some higher watt m atx psus around somewhere, dell and the likes are hardly putting 250 - 300 watt psus in their higher spec pcs these days are they?
