Antec NeoPower 480 and SLI

Ok, I think my Antec Neo is cabable of doing SLI, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm thinking of either getting another SLI power cable from Antec, or would a PCI spliter be stable enough?

 

PCI splitter?

If I recall correctly basically all PCI-E video cards have a two molex to six pin connector adaptor; that will let you do SLI just fine.

 

if your neo says its sli ready it should have at least 2 PCI-E 6pin molexes on them. Most of the time video cards that are labeled for SLI sales will includ an adaptor.

 

Looks like it can to me - I have an Antec Neo 480

Usin a Neo 480 in Crucial build guide no problem.....http://sysbuild.corsairmemory.com/report.aspx?id=2&sid=11

Have they got a spare PCi power connector ?

From searching around, it appears the Neopower 480W has 2 x 6-pin PCI-E connectors. It should run the cards just fine.

 

Reading through the user manual (my copy) for NEOPOWER 380/480 version 1.0.5 (5/5/04)

Actually you only get one dedicated cable "PCI"
11. One set of wires with a 6-pin PCI Express graphic card connector at one
end and a 6-pin PSU connector at the other end

The key thing this will not be a problem most (all) Graphics cards are supplied with an adapter.

Please note you should have the power supplied on a different cable leading from the PSU to supply clean power.

Alright, sweet deal...though I think I might be short a few power connectors, so I'll probably ditch my 120's and get a single large capacity drive.

Oh, and the PCI spliter I was talking about is this dealy:
