I'm building my first PC in a very long time and am a little confused about what size / make of PSU to get.
I'm planning on putting it with following parts:
1 x Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP LGA775 Intel P35 FSB 1333 DDR2 1066 2X PCI
1 x Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz LGA775 1066FSB LGA775 Retail Box
1 x Corsair 2GB(2*1GB) PC2-6400 DDR2-800 C4 TWIN2X E.P.P. Technology
1 x Asus NVidia 8800GTS 640M PCI-E Dual DVI
2 x Seagate 320GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 16MB
1 x iCute S901-BB 5G with 25cm side panel fan
I do plan on adding upto another 2 HDD in the future.
I am looking at the iCute 600W 14cm Fan Modular Plug Editon http://www.icute.com.tw/english/im [...] -3-big.jpg but then I started reading about single vs multiple 12v rails and confused myself by looking around at other webpages.
Basically I need a psu to run the above configuration, I can't find any info about a good psu for the 8800gts640mb without it referring to SLI which I'm not going to run.
Any advice on the iCute PSU or a recommendation would be great.
If your not in the US, help us out. What PSUs are available in your area that can output at least 30A on the 12V rail? Give us your options, we can help you find the best one.

exactly the same PSU that you yanks get,
go to www.scan.co.uk or www.ebuyer.com they both have warehouses of stock.
i would alos add to the list any akasa, hiper power and enermax that meet your power requirements (just not iCute, ast month someone tried to argue that thier cases look good when they were just a Coolermaster copy) all the mention PSUfrom both mine and the previous list are fine
I'm in New Zealand. The only one not available on the list from EMP was the PC Power & Cooling, everything else was available somewhere in NZ (pricespy.co.nz).
The supplier I'm going to use (http://www.nzoczone.com/index.php?cPath=80) has the following brands:
AcBel, Antec, Cooler Master, Enermax, EZCool, iCute, OCZ, Silverstone, Thermaltake, Zalman.
So from the manufacturers mentioned thus far they have:
I said 30A because of your video card, which I believe takes about 28A. (a little extra won't hurt.) I noticed the iCute isn't on the list, is that because it can't output that much power or because we already said to not get it?
While others probably know better, I'm going to argue that if you are going to buy the Enermax, you might as well get the cheaper ToughPower. Unless someone knows why, they would probably perform about the same. I would personally get the Neo 500W seeing as its only $13 more.
