    Ok so im in the market for a coolermaster cosmos case purely because I think these cases are a thing of beauty and theyre brilliantly designed. My question to you is what PSU would you reccomend for this case as Ive been told that i need a PSU with long wires to make use of the cable management system and to optimize airflow seeing as its a huge case. Im looking for a gusty PSu aswell preferably 620w plus and definately SLI/Crossfire ready as im aiming to run a quadcore system with various hard drives and possible crossfire setup.

    Thanks. :)

    Good choice, I have one and its very quiet plus you get a couple of extra cables of different lengths so you can choose the ones that fit best. Also the cables are like ribbon cables, about half an inch wide, very neat. The fact that its made by Seasonic means you have a good chance of getting stable voltages out of it towards the upper end of its capability.

    As you may have guessed I'm very happy with mine.

    Have had very good luck with my HX620W. Nice and quiet plenty of cables and no problem running 2x 8800gts' in Sli. wonderful PSU.
    Another to consider would be the Thermaltake W0106RU. I ahave also had very good luck running this PSU in a quad core system and crossfire set up.
    Good Luck

    Alright cheers, will this PSU be any use with a possible 2900XT crossfire setup? bearing in mind that the 2900XT is a power hungry card.

    I dont know but i imagine it would be ok, from what I've read the 2900xt uses ~200w at full steam so two would need ~400w leaving 220w for the rest of the system, It might be cutting it a little fine depending on what CPU, how much memory and how many hard disks you have.

    Maybe someone with more experience could chip in here.
