P180 questions

[Nocturnal]

Are most of the Antec PSUs long enough to reach an ASUS A8N Premium motherboard without having to have the motherboard installed upside down?

You can't mount the mobo upside down in the P180, so if the PSU cables don't reach (which I can't specifically answer in regards to the hardware you're asking about) you're SOL.

You can either buy a 4-pin cable extension or a 4-pin to molex extension (what I did). Other than that 4-pin cable, everything reaches just fine with my Mad Dog PSU (lol).

All new Antec PSU's (Truepower 2.0, Smartpower 2.0, Neopower, Phantom) work fine. That's what the Antec tech rep told me. 🙂

In the review on SPCR (i'm almost positive it was these guys, i'm going to check to make sure after this post) said that the OCZ PSU's barely reach the connector on their mobo and that they had to put the line under extreme stress behind the AGP slot to make it reach

[edit: *feels stupid* it was a seasonic not an OCZ, sorry :/]

Get a PC Power & Cooling 510W-SLI. You'll have plenty of cable. Actually, you'll spend far more time trying to hide the unused ones 😀

I used the molex to 4 pin extension, $3 at Fry's 😛.

Don't bother. Many people have had trouble with the Modstream cables, and the Powerstream units are gonna be a pain in the a$$ to mount in that PSU compartment.
