I am seriously considering buying a P190, but like many I'm a little concerned by the power setup. I was thinking though: If the 550W modular unit uses a modular interface that is the same as one of their other NeoHE units, what would prevent you from ordering a spare PCIe modular cable & running a video card (or perhaps both) off of that unit?

I can't find any good pictures of the modular interface on the 550, I know the NeoHE 480 and 550 use different interfaces but perhaps the P190 shares with one of those two.

Anybody tried this? Or maybe someone with a P190 or access to one can take a couple pictures?

The price is so out of reach I'd be surprise if anyone actually has it :p What are your reasons for getting one?

I don't think the price is nearly so bad as people make it out to be, obviously the $500 or whatever the official list is ridiculous but the street prices are quite reasonable. Under $380 shipped for the feature set & power seems quite reasonable to me.

I'm currently using an Antec 900 & want something a little more substantial - Bigger, heavier, and stronger.
