PCP&C 750 for $160 - or get the quad for $199? - Overclock.net

The local Fry's is selling the 750W for $160. This is the 2xPCIe model. PCP&C just came out with a new version which has 4 PCIe connectors.

Seems like a great deal for $160. Is there any read advantage of paying $199 for just 2 more PCIe connectors??? I'm assuming that in an extreme case (2 x 8800GTX), I could still use two drive connectors (with some sort of adapter)?

EDIT : I bought the $160 one.

A PCI-e power connector requires two four pin molex connectors. So if you plan on getting two at any time, go ahead and get the quad.

Get the dual for $160, that's a hell of a deal. Just have one molex line dedicated for adapters for the second 8800GTX, should it ever come about.

BUY IT NOW. That's like $50 the regular price. More PCI-e connectors just means not having to use molex power adapters.

Thanks for the responses. I went ahead and bought the dual, $160 was too good of a deal. I think they are discounting them to clear stock (they have 4 in stock) so PCP&C can send them new quads. You can see that my current system does not need it, but my (soon to be) DX10 rig will love it!
