Cable length in a P182

[omeganot]

I picked up a P182SE when CompUSA had them on sale (cheaper than the regular 182, and...well...SHINY!) and now I'm picking out which PSU is gonna power my system. The front runners are:

- Enermax Infiniti 720W
- Corsair 620HX

I'm leaning towards the Enermax, just to be sure I have enough power on the 12V rails should I decide to purchase a second 8800GTX down the line and still OC a Q6600.

My question is, does anyone have the Infiniti (or the Corsair, for that matter) in a P182? I read a review of the Infiniti @ www.jonnyguru.com and he mentioned short cable lengths. I've heard PSU cable length has been troublesome with P182 cases, and want to be sure they will fit.

If this post belongs in power supplies, I apologize, but I'm really interested in how it fits in the case.

I have the enermax liberty 500W and I had to get an extension cable for the smaller 8pin motherboard power socket. The main ATX connection could really use one as well. I had to straight to it, as opposed to routing it cleanly behind motherboard to make it fit. Depending on your motherboard it can be quite far to reach the power connections.

Hope this helps.

Ah, I guess I should have mentioned motherboard options. I was looking at the EVGA 680i or another board based off the 680i reference. Not sure if I have the patience to wait for the X38 to come out.

Thanks for the info so far, Raider.

the evga 680i http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813188013 has the power connector at the same place as the asus p5b that I have. if the enermax your looking at has the same cable lengths as mine your going to need at least a 8pin motherboard extension cable.
