Fair enough, I can see that if your PSu gives you short leads that this could be the case, I'd also say if you have to many leads you might ind it getting abit cramped for space where the hard drive is held, not had any problems with a my modular PSU though.

well, i have 3 HDDs at the moment, with a forth going in soon, i also have a XFI fatlity with the big 30 pin connector, so thats in the way aswell. All i want is a standard case with the style of the antec, and can i have some suggestions for PSU's, about £50-£80 please, nothing fancy with front panel stuff, just a PSU.

i have the thermaltake soprano, love it, very sturdy and roomy, got a large front fan, and rear, a little side fan helping the gpu. I changed the rear to a coloured one, just because i like lights 
im running sli in this case, seems cool enough.
as for psu i dont have much of a scooby doo.
heard tagen are good. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductI ... tID=243645_________________

I totally agree. But like I said earlier if you get this case
Remember to open the door completely when playing your games, I find that my CPU starts sweating otherwise. Other than that, I loves it. :3
Case cost £50 or so..
I got an Enermax Liberty 620W 4 months ago (£100) for my 8800GTS, its got a sticker saying SLi certified, but I think it should run SLi 8800, don't think it'd handle the GTX too well though. :3
But your not after that. ;P _________________

That largely depends on the motherboard, as there's no proper position for the 20/24 pin connector.
As for PSUs, anything thats antec is good, try and get modular if you can too

Using a seasonic modular PSU here M12 but think it might break your price bracket depedning on the output you want.

Don't know if it's been suggested, but this is my case. Good review in CustomPC too
