Need PS Recommendation (Need LONG 24 pin cable)

My friend is building an SLI system like mine and chose an AeroCool Spiral Galaxies case. (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-196-006&depa=1) The layout is REAL cool barring the need for a very long 24 pin connector on the PS. The unit got very good reviews and makes sense of course barring the one negative that I am covering here.

The question is:

What is a decent PS that has a somewhat longer 24 pin cable run? I don't think he will want to spend more than $125. I was suggesting the Antec Neopower 480 or the Coolermaster 450W that we saw at Microcenter, the latter seemed to have a long cable run but I'm not too sure about it for an SLI setup.

If he would spend more the choices would be easier. Right now he just has ONE 6800GT and an A8N-SLI Deluxe board.

I sure wish that PS specs would list cable lengths.

Thanks in advance.
 
And some Zippys come with approx 22" main ATX cable (can be had in three diff versions) and their drive cables are 21" to the first drive connector with another 7" to the second drive connector (only two drive connectors per branch - total of 8). But they can come with different cable configurations from the factory, so you want to get the straight dope from the dealer you plan to buy from.

I got an Enermax Noisetaker 600W PS and its ATX plug lead is pretty dang long. So much in fact that I am thinking of hacking about 6" off it. I think it cost $150 but its SLI ready and should handle just about whatever components you through at it.
