    Thanks again guys. Can anyone remember the link to the website where I can work out what wattage I'll need to get? I'll have quite a few devices to power (HDDs), so will probably be looking at >500W

    Thanks

    advice on PSU

    I have finally decided to get this one, an Antec NeoPower 480 Watt, quite a nice unit indeed.
    See here: http://www.legitreviews.com/article.php?aid=120

    and here:
    http://www.techniz.co.uk/modules.php...content&id=224

    The only thing I wish this had was cable sleeving, but I might find my own solution to that in the near future.

    I think the NeoPower Version II has full black braiding (mine did). So you should be good.
