I've got a hard drive, and case (good ol' beige box!!) I'm going to build an aditional HDD cage inside of it for more storage, and a few more fan mounts. I'll post pix when I start the build.
 
Enhance ENP 460W if you want SLi with the 7600. If not you can get away with a 400W Silverstone Strider.

I think the OP may be looking for specific recommendations rather than just a list.

I mean that Hiper PSU's are "ok" & a very good value in the UK/EU,
where the prices of truly good PSU's is so high & availability is so limited.

However here in the US & Canada, we can get much better PSU's than the Hipers for the same or less money. ;)

Hiper 'Type R' PSUs are 'ok'. The others are paper weights IMO.

Actually, it's really just the "standard series" that are "paper weights" (to use your words.)

The Type-M series are good with the 670W and 730W coming from Andyson's server line of power supplies.

Jonny :)

I thought that the PSU that was linked was from the 'standard series'. Alright then.
 
Jonny is correct, as always.

Glad to see you're back. Also, on the psu inquisitor page, you have a minor error: The Coolmax 850 says ATNG, but it's ACBel.

No. It's still a Type-R, just a lower wattage unit. Based on an Andyson AD-500 platform as opposed to the AD-550 used for the Type-R 580W.

Have to pop in to correct you guys from time to time. ;)

No. I was initially wrong in my review. Someone I know contacted Acbel and they do not make a 1kW. It's based on a server level ATNG.
