What about taking your rig to a local PC/computer store, bring also a multimeter with you. Tell them that you are looking for a PSU. You're gonna choose like 4-5, then test all of them, yeah I know they won't like the fact, that you want to test, and so on, but if you've got relationships there, then it's the best. But no problems if they won't let you do, at least you can check if it will fit or no your case. Also you if doesn't fits you can anytime mod your case...

Open the side panels of your case and on the PSU there should be a label that is upside down. There should be a figure such as 300w and that is the wattage rating of the PSU. Be sure to check all the amp ratings as well on the 12v line (aka rail) 5v and 3.3v - it might be a good idea to post those here.

You look at the sticker on the PSU, like i was saying. There should be a grid of some sort on it.

As Jazzy mentioned, there is usually a sticker on the side. However, most manufacturer's adhere to a color standard as well.
