Corsair TX650W mini review and some feedback

Just installed this PSU today... Since there is only 1 review of this on the net, I thought it would be nice to have something else slightly useful coming up in a google search

Nice box:


Everything that comes in the box:

Anyone know what the bag is for? I am currently using it to store sweets.

The PSU:


Volts:

Seem good to me

Here it is installed:

"But why is that cable going up the middle of your otherwise beautiful case?" I hear you ask... stay tuned for the answer...

The good:
-Volts are great
-Its completely silent
-Plenty of sata/molex connectors
-Even though its not modular its very tidy
-5 year warranty

The bad:
-I had to snip off clip on the PCI-E connectors to get them into my 9800gtx (my Xclio PCI-E connector fit in fine). Fortunately this doesn't void my warranty
-Only 2 PCI-E connectors, so if I choose to SLi them down the line, I will have to use molex adapters

The ugly:
-The 8 pin power cable for the motherboard is 1cm too short (when fully stretched) to go around the back of the motherboard panel (my Xclio PSU was just about long enough)
-Yes I suck with cameras
