Well, after searching newegg for hours, and reading review after review after review, I'm up a creek without a paddle on trying to find the right power supply, and am wanting to order all my parts for a new system tomorrow morning. Everyone I find either doesn't have the SATA connectors, and the ones that do, don't have enough 4-pin molex connectors. Any help on the right power supply for me would be greatly appreciated since I'm not finding a suitable PSU. Here's what I plan to run (just a moddest home machine).

P4 3.0E, 1GB PC3200 DDR, ATI Radeon 9800, 36GB WD SATA Raptor, 250GB WD SATA, 120GB WD IDE 1200JB, 40GB IDE WD, IDE DVD-Rom, IDE CD-RW, and about 7 chassis fans.

So, what I need out of a power supply is:
12V P4 Connector
Dual SATA Connectors
Around 7-8 4-pin Molex Connectors
Around 450-550 Watts

Any suggestion would be helpful. I am partial to enermax, but they don't seem to have what I'm looking for this go around on this machine.

Thanks,

Rob :D
 
I know the Thermaltake PurePower 560W has all the connectors that you might want, but I have no idea as to the quality of the PSU. Thermaltake is usually good about quality, but they are largely a case manufacturer. It retails on newegg for about US$100.

PS: Are you sure you haven't checked out the Antec 550? I'm pretty sure that has dual SATA as well....
 
I appreciate the help man. I was thinking more around the $60-80 range, but I'm willing to fork out the $100 if the thermaltake is a good power supply. I read a couple of reviews, and it looks pretty nice. Has built in SATA connectors, and 8 4-pin molex connectors. Looks like I'm off to newegg to buy it.

Thanks again,

Rob :D
