I'd get either a Seasonic or OCZ. I have an OCZ Gamestream and am happy with it. With that many hard drives, you'll want something with a decent amount of power.

Hard drives?s consume average 30 watts each. I recommend about 750 watt PSU with at least (2) 12V 18 AMP rails. http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

I know an expert who will help you find exactly what you?re looking for. His name is Steve. He?s an AMD enthusiast too. He?s the senior moderator at a very large online discount computer supply store were I?ve been doing tech support at. They now me as ScottsCustomComputers, and Newdude. He?s got about 12,000 more post than me. Whoa.
He'd probably recommend a PSU with 1 fan because they're so much quieter
Give him the following link to your motherboard; tell him about the 10 hard drives, and how many are SATA drives. Give him all your system specs. http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/soc...-SLI%20Deluxe/e1889_a8n_sli_deluxe.zip

Modular PSU?s are all the craze now. You might want to ask him about that. It gives you the ability to insert the power connectors you need.
Tell him Newdude AKA ScottsCustomComputers sent you.
