    A Corsair PSU or and Antec would do the job perfectly. Quiet, many different wattages, modular and reasonable prices.

    @lgitton: Unfortunately, you'll probably have to choose between the second 4850 and the HDD rack. Since the rack sticks down below the case split, the second 4850 will probably run into it. I think the rear end of the rack is about 155mm from the back panel. If you only need one HDD, you can mount it in the 3.5" bay, and you could probably move the HDD rack to the empty space next to the PSU (or build your own rack there) if you need more.

    You should go for a Lanbox lite with the Palit "shorty" 4850s. They're cheaper and actually cool compared to the stock cooling. That'll allow you to use the HDD cage

    I recommend the Corsair HX520 for your setup, plenty of power. As for an HSF, you'll have to check around. The Silverstone NT05, NT06-E (NOT Lite, has to be the E version unless you buy a different backplate), Enzotech Ultra, Artic Cooling Alpine Pro 7 are confirmed working.

    Disregard the TRUE.
    E2180 (2.0ghz) | 2GB DDR2 800 Tracers | 8600GT 256mb | XFX 610i nForce mobo | Lanbox Lite
    Intel Atom 230 - 1.6ghz | 2GB DDR2-667 | 945GCLF Mini-ITX | Apex MI-100 case

    Just out of curiosity, the powersupply shown in as being too big, whats the make/model of that or how wide is it? How far from 140mm?

    I'd have to get out the tape measure and get the precise measurements, but yes, it was a very tight squeeze. As for the make and model of the PSU, it is one of those run of the mill power supplies that case manufacturers feel that they need to supply with low end cases. I've got five or six of them floating around, and as long as power requirements are not that high, they work.

    And welcome to TBCS!
