Just how Big is the OCZ Powerstream?

[Wxman77]

I'm thinking of getting a new power supply since the one I have seems to be a little week on the 12V rail and my system rapidly becomes unstable if I try any overclocking at all. I was thinking about geting either the OCZ Modstream or the OCZ Powerstream, but I've heard that the Powerstream is rather large and was wondering if it would even fit in my Coolermaster Praetorian case... Would anyone happen to know?

I don't know for a fact, but the Praetorian is a good-sized case, so it should fit fine. But you should know that you don't have to pony up the major-league cash for an OCZ PSU. There are several excellent, less expensive options. Fortron Blue Storm 500W, Enermax Noisetaker, Antec TruePower, etc. Look into those.

I was thinking it might not fit because the Thermaltake power supply I'm currently using was a tight fit (length was okay, but width was tight). I've heard a lot of not so good things about the Antec power supplies, and I've read on the MSI forums that dual rail PSU are not ideal.

Yes it will fit - http://www.anandtech.com/casecooling/showdoc.aspx?i=2202&p=8 Plus, my friend has a Modstream and it fits fine.
