Ok, I am looking for a PSU with at least 4 aux connectors. The 6800 Ultra takes 2 molex connectors and recommends that the be unused by anything else but the video card. If I have 3 that only leaves me on connection to power 6 drives, 6 fans, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Anyone know if anyone makes one of these yet?

it may well have 12 molex's but are they on 3 lines of 4, or are they 4 lines of 3?
i still can't get over how ridiculous the 6800u's power requirements are... you may as well have TWO psu's cos I don't know how you could have two dedicated 12v lines to it and still have enough left for everything else!!!

I would suggest dual power supplies. Maybe a 500 ish watt one to run the mb, card and hard drive, and a 150-250 ish watt one for running optical drives and lighting, etc.

I don't really want one where I have to use an adapter to get it to fit on my Mobo. Thats more crap I have to take apart when I sleeve it, and also having that big white connector sitting right in front of my Mobo will look pretty ugly.
