I already have a 160Gb SATA HDD. I wouldn't mind picking up another on and going SATA - Raid, but the Abit AV8 only has two SATA headers so I would have to forgo the optical drive and that PATA cable is really starting to look archaic next to the SATA cable, rounded floppy cable and power leads.
I used to have some rounded PATA cables, but trashed them after I spent nearly a week troubleshooting a random lock-up problem only to find that my nice fancy new rounded cable was the culprit. (makes me hesitant to go that route again).

More about the PSU - it's humming along nicely supplying 5.22v and 12.17v to my OC'd A64 3000+ 90nm CPU (2250Mhz @ 9x250). Smooth, Stable and relatively quiet.

The feature sound the Dog's bollocks and to good to be true. I want one but don't want to find i have a vacum cleaner in my tower. Laughing

It's pretty quiet, I have one in my case. Couldn't have found a nicer PSU.

Welcome Killer Ant - if the dog's bollocks are a good thing, and thats what you want, I would agree that this one is it than! Laughing

- It is sharp looking, easy to install, and has decent lines. It could have stronger lines, but it could probably cost alot more then, too.

I have one (the reviewed one) and I still use it on a daily basis. Not noisy at all. The fans must spin pretty slowly to accomplish this, as there isn't a rush of air at the exit. But, the air isn't particularly warm either, so thats good.
