    Antec P180 PSU compatability

    Anyone Know if a Seasonic S12 - 430 will fit in an Antec P180, and if it'll be sufficient power for:
    AMD Athlon64 3000+ Venice Core
    Geforce 6600 GT PCI-E 128mb
    1GB (2xCMX-512-3200C2) RAM
    2xSamsung SpinPoints (120GB and 200GB) HDDs
    Abit AN-8 Ultra
    Lite-On DVD-RW
    And assorted fans, lights etc
    Cheers

    sorry, just to be most specific, i've heard there are issues about MoBo power cable being long enough, so that's my main concern

    There were issues with earlier S12 PSUs but the newer ones have longer (and sleeved) cables and there shouldn't be a problem.

    More than enough power in the 430 for that rig.

    If you get caught short, then the Silverstone ATX extension kit is very good value and quality

    I had to get one for a mATX build.

    I'd advise you to get the kit (if you can) as the 12V power is needed if you want nice clean cable management IMO.

    yeah, when the case is as nice as this one, it's worth having neat cabling!

    Cracking case, just put my setup into one and am delighted

    You will almost certainly need an extension on the 4-pin ATX lead, mind, can pick them up for a couple of quid so no worries there. Cooling is superb, just also consider where mounting your HDD(s), especially if using a modulare PSU
    Main: i5 2500K, AsRock Extreme4 Z68, 8GB Vengeance, Enermax Infiniti, 5850 1GB
    Toys: Cowon J3 32GB, DIR-655, PS3 Slim, HTC Desire, HDC-SD1, Slingbox, Synology DS109j, Asus Transformer + dock
