Hi, when are we going to see another power supply and case roundup?

I'm building a new machine and i need to know which power supply and case you guys recommend. I need a good power supply that is SLI ready, has about 500W or more, dual core ready (for amd), quiete and has cables long enough. I'm worried that I'll get a psu/case where some cables won't reach. I need a quite case with good ventilation, that can hold lots of HDDs and has a HDD fan (for my Western Digital 74gb raptor).

I have all my other HW picked out (exept memory).

Take a look at the Antec P-180 case :)

I got one and love it!

I know about that one, but i read in one review that its a pretty complicated case. I'm an IT person, but I haven't built a system in almost 10 years. Plus there's the issue with the PSU. i'm not sure which to buy.

Take a look at the Cooler Master Centurion 531, nice looks, good ventilation, sturdy, quiet, low price.
