Looking for a good ~400W PSU with least 7 connectors (4 HDDs, 1 CDR, 1 DVD, and 1 Floppy). I would also like the PSU to have OV and OC protection. Recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!

Check out the Enermax line- they have the cables from hell, long & lots of 'em. Their current models have 8 molex, 2 floppy, 1 atx12v & 1 Aux plug, plus the 20 pin mobo plug.

There have been some reports of low 5v readings when combined with some AMD boards, cause indeterminate, so be aware....

OV & OC? Over volt & current? I think they all have that...

If you run out of connectors, you can always buy Y-splitters or splice some of your fans to a single male connector.

I recommend Enermax. They are well known for having long cables and plenty of them ;)

FlowerMan~ Holy sh*t, I totally forgot about my fans (that makes 11 connectors that I'll need)! Where can I buy some quality 'Y-splitters'?

Phunktion~ Is Topower any good? How do they compare in quality to Enermax, Antec, etc.?

Don't buy Radioshack's Y-splitters. I've been using a few of them off and on for 3+ years and the cheapo connectors on them don't seem to make a very good connection to the drives you plug them into. I was using them for several hard drives and the drives would make "not happy" sounds occasionally while trying to spin up...or if you're going to use them at least don't use them on the hard drives.
