PSU installation -- easy as pie or the beginner's nightmare?

[amjedm]

I just bought a Seasonic S-12 500 W at Cesell.com (via Silentpcreview). It took a long time to learn all I needed to learn before making an educated decision. Your comments and recommendations on Hexus Forum (various threads) were invaluable. http://forums.hexus.net/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Please post back if the cables are long enough - people were having issues with the original Seasonic S12 and the P180.

I certainly will. Perhaps Dave an Blitzen can tell too.

I'm not sure about the p180 and the S12, due to its differing layout (PSU at the bottom) but the cables appear to be long enough, at least with regards to my P160, where there is a sizable amount of spare cable on the ATX lead at least.

If not, there is always the option of an ATX extension cable, which Scan & Kustom PC have instock

I saw one review that said that the 12 V cable to the motherboard was a little short, but that it should be long enough.
