My local dealer advised me to switch Seasonic SS-350ES 350W to Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D because costumers were returning back some
of the Seasonic PSUs.
my question is: does anyone here use this combo?
will it fit into the ML03B case?

Yes, the Antec will fit into the case however it has a rearward facing exhaust fan and the ML03 case has an air vent in the floor immediately below the PSU therefore I recommend either the Silverstone Strider Essential 400 watt or the Be Quiet Pure Power 300 watt psu's which I have used in my ML03 without issue.

Thanks for the input.
Do you know any other brands that would fit with fan on the top?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Antec might be shorter in depth than the Strider. You need all the space you can get since the ODD and PSU butt right up against each other in this case. I just ordered the same case and the Antec PSU for this reason.
