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!!!

with that many conectors you could 4pin extion conectors there 12inchs long so in normal cas you copuld reach just about any thing

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.
