im goin with something like this... although i didnt get much feedback so something may be able to be improved upon... but it should be a good starting point

woot i was right -> check out the psu / case combos for the ocz psus i got the one with the haf922 just go to ocz brand and hit the "80+ certified" and the good ones will come up then check out all the combos ... also there was a combo deal with the spinpoint f3 and an ocz power supply i think with like -20 discount
