650 to 850 quality PSU usually will have plenty of Sata plugs. Also Modular will help you with wire management.

Performance-PC.com has a section dedicated just to wire management. Check it out.

Love the case!! I have the same case for my workstation. I love the airflow and cable management options and it was so cheap... Just a tip though, I did some tests of GPU temps with and without side fans mounted and the side fans actually hurt case temps with this case, so I run 2 intakes in the front, 2 exhausts in the roof and 1 exhaust in the back...

okay, i got a little carried away and now my system has:

2 cases with 2 PSU's and 4 sata cables and 4 USB>IDE cables linking them

2x 500gb (os raid 0)
2x 320gb raid 0
4x 250gb raid 5
4x 400gb raid 5
2x dvd rw drives

7x 120mm fans
3x80mm
4x 140mm fans

so i have 4.2tb of physical memory and ~3.6tb of usable storage





I know, I know, I am in serious need of some wire management, I'm going to put in a terminal block for my fans, a decent PSU that I'll customize so I wont need any adapters, and a fan controller, my fans are all on a solid 12v and are clearly audible half way across my house, also the fans blowing so hard make my hands cold



.....the rats nest.....
