Modular Power Unit

Hi all.

My Seasonic S12 600 is a good power unit, but with my case and for what I have really, it's too much in terms of leads, literally it's like I've two octopus's in my case, so it's time to go modular if I wish to fit more HD's and a 8800GT in there in time.

I fancy about £150 maximum really since I've other things including moving house to consider and capable of powering a gaming grade computer.

Plans are for a dual GPU eventually, and I do run two 250GB Sata2 drives.

Any recommendations on your side, bear in mind Modular is important since space is limited in my case.

Re: Modular Power Unit

Ahhh that looks perfect, my current Seasonic has been a excellent power unit no problems, and I may well sell it on fairly cheap or bung it into a few builds I have planned to move on some pc parts I've lying about
