| Advice On PSU I need some advice on wich PSU i should get. Currently i have Antec 480watt true power, but with new upgrades going to amd 64 chip (which i will be overclocking) i thought i would also upgrade my psu, but i cant seem to find a good psu that has stable power and lots of 4 pin plugs. Here is my needs: 4 hard drives, 1 dvd-rw, 2 connectors for the 6800ultra, and then i got 2 rear fans, 2 front fans, 1 side fan, and a cpu fan. So total i would need atlest 9~10 plugs considering i only use 2 plugs for my 6 fans. Can anyone plz suggest what i should get, thx.

| OCZ Powerstream 520 edit: that may not have as many plugs as you need, there are 8 molexes, but if you have splitters that coud work.
