ULTRA X-CONNECT 500WATX ... looks good, but is it? Anyone got/used one before?

I've got one - a blue one.

Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.6ghz
2x256MB OCZ PC3200
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
6800GT and a 6600GT (although the 6600 isn't doing much in the way of work)
FOUR 80GB Seagate SATA drives
RAID 5 PCI card.

12V dropped a tad when I added the three final hard drives in, but it's still holding up well.

Unlrelated question Kez. Why do you have a 6600GT in with that 6800GT?

Call it a "project" ;)

4 monitors? ;)

Also I'd take MBM readings with a pinch of salt - I get 11.6V, while a multimeter on the molex gives 12.14V and on the back of the ATX12V gives 12.13V. Given my multimeter is worth more than the motherboard, I'm more inclined to trust it. ;)

No just 2 monitors.

I haven't checked with a multimeter in a while but as a rule speedfan is about .1-2 off for 12V on this board, so it's still pretty good.

OCZ ModStream should be better though.
