    This review is worth a look... it's why I bought my X-750.

    Thanks for that. I assume you have had no problems? How did you find the cable lengths?

    It's usually worth checking out the reviews of the actual wattage of the model you want to go for, remember how Bit tech loved the antec truepower new 650, but the 750 couldn't quite live up to it's little brother's rep

    I am so grateful to everyone who has given their opinion to my post. I have made a short list and would love for you to give me +1's for what you would go for? If you would say why, that would be even better, but +1's will do. I want to build a neat system so cable lengths may be relevant?

    I'm not going to vote as I own one of those PSUs...

    I have a HAF 932 case... it's on the high side of large and all my cables are well routed. Usually I've found with the likes of Seasonic, Corsair that if you need more cables you can call them up and they'll often send you some free ones.

    Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy... but you'll be back here in a couple of months once the upgrade bug takes hold....

    I'll take that as a +1 for the x-750:thumb:

    The Fractal R3 is not tall at all, so you won't have problems with cables lengths with any of the units listed, which all have long cables.
    Anyway, +1 to the X-750.
    Jonnyguru is one of the better sites for posting clear explanations of cable lengths on the first page in a table.
