Will your old PSU support the new mobo ? Well, I am taking a risk indeed as I do not know if it will fit or not. The problem is that I would like to buy the Nexus Value 430 (over the corsais vx450 initially stated), but is is impossible to get it here in spain for the moment, so I decided to wait t...

Yes, the Ninja2 is the 4th revision (or 3rd if you consider the copper one as a "special edition") and is substantially different from the rev.b. Great! Already included a special designed slipstream fan, so one fan less to buy as I could use this to replace the tricool fan in the Solo case. As for...
