I'm building a new system in a Fractal designs define r3. I would like to get a modular PSU that will work with this case which mounts the supply in the bottom.
I'm going to have the Asus z68 pro board a 2600k, with a moderate overclock I guess, I may use the built in graphics or else a single video card. I will have a Vertex2 boot drive, 4 or 5 storage drives and blu-ray burner. Oh, I'm cooling with Corsair H60 liquid system.

I've never used a modular supply and it sounds great for me because I usually end up with a real mess of cables and dust problems

A guy has a Zalman 600 heatpipe unit that I could get - has anyone any experience with them? Or any suggestions for a supply that would help me keep a neat system?
thanks
Dave

Yeah I looked thoroghly and strongly considered the Seasonic. I got the Corsair at Amazon though with a $20 rebate and no tax it will end up being about $30 less.

It wasn't cost though, I like what I read about the cabling on the Corsair - it sounds like I may stand a chance at having a neat looking sysyem this time :)
