I have a Chieftec/Antec case. Black, window, 2 80mm in the front, 2 80mm in the back. It's the "old style" Antec case with the grill in the front, door, 4 bays with 2 floppy bays.

Anyways, I have the Vantec 470W Stealth PSU. I've had it for 2 years and I've had to look at this cable MESS for 2 years. Vantec seemed to make every single cable in the PSU 3 feet long. I'm looking for recommendations for a new PSU. I have 2 drives, floppy, 3 hard drives, P4 2.53GHZ (may be upgrading to A64 in a little bit), IT7-MAX2 v2, 9800Pro, and a Gig of Corsair RAM.

I'm also looking for 4 fans. Preferable +40cfm but if at all possible to have them be UV reactive or have lights :). Noise isnt a problem (unless it's really high) because they're going on my 4 fan Nexus.

If you want one to clean up the wire mess, a modular power supply should help a lot. I'd recomend the OCZ modstream, its what i'll be getting for my new system.

I second the Modstream. Best all around PSU you can get. It has good stable rails, modular cables, 120mm fan....It's just awesome. Notice I said ALL-AROUND.
