I sent a few e-mails to PCP&P the other day ...
Q: Why does the 510 Express have as much as 6 SATA connectors and only 1 PCE-E connector? Will there be a new revision of the Express which will have 2 PCI-E connectors to support SLI?
A: Sorry yes it does, If you will need two then the 510 may not have the power you need. We will be shipping an eight hundred watt unit after the first week of December that has two PCI-Express video connectors. The reason all of the SATA connectors is that the optical drive are now using SATA not IDE.
Q: What will the approximate pricing of this 800 watt power supply be?
A: You can use either our 700ETX (late first quarter introduction) or our 850ETX (early first quarter intro). Both are 9 inches deep (instead of 5.5") requiring a case depth of 20 inches or more. The "ETX" stands for Extended ATX form factor. The 700 will be approximately $390.00 and the 850 will be approximately $490.00 each. The 700 has three +12 Volt Rails at 17 Amps each and the 850 has four +12 Volt rails at 17 Amps each, maximum of 66 Amps total.
Can't wait!
