Ok, Recently I built a new computer with a small case (LIAN LI PC-7B plus II) and recent events which I wont go into detail have left me wantting a bigger case with a slide out motherboard tray mainly the tj09. Now I'm pretty sure my current psu's (a seasonic S12 EP 550) cables are to short for the tj09 and instead of doing the sane thing and just get a few cable extenders I've desided to go :crazy: and buy a new powersupply. The current psu's I'm interested in are:

Etasis ET750
CORSAIR 620HX
SILVERSTONE ST75F
Seasonic M12 600 / 700
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 (would list 750 but I hate the orange that much >_>)

Now I would prefer a modular psu because they require less thought to do wire management and the less mental work the better for me >_O. More suggestions are welcome. systems specs are E6300 oc'd 3.15 ghz, Asus P5B Dlx, 2 gigs crucial 10th ann, 8800 gtx >.>
I would do a more detailed system spec but I'm lazy so meh.

Out of the 5, I would say either the ET750 or eqiv. ST75ZF{which is cheaper at Deadeye;) }
Or the HX620, being modular with a 120mm vs. internal 80mm for the Etasis twins, not without including the 5 year vs. 3 year warranty.
The Etasis PSU's are server class warrior PSU's, with silence second on the list:D
The Corsair HX620 are modular, souped-up OEM Seasonic, quiet computing,
gaming, PSU's

Being as you want modular, HX620;)

The new Ultra X-Pro 600 EE works quite spankily for the TJ09 as you can see here.

Yeah I saw the review with the picture of the TJ09 which is why I decided to make this topic. I was kind of hoping that jonny actually had a 620 HX around and could actually tell me if the cables were long enough to use in the tj09. Heck if He could tell me that my PSU's cables would be long enough for it that would help as well >.< .

Edit: CAD4466HK - I know that Etasis PSU's are server class monsters which is why I listed them. Sound doesn't bother me much so I could care less about that. If it became to much I would just get a pair of headphones , which I'm already looking into, to cancel out the noise.

Edit 2: Now I notice that You madmat made the ultra review. So Is that your Tj09? And could you tell me the lengths of the cables for the ultra psu?

To tell you the truth, my Enermax EG365p-VE is louder then my Zeus, no

Just to clarify the Zeus in your rig is rebagaged Etasis?

Edit: nevermind I looked through Jonny's review of the ST85ZF and saw that it was >.>

OK, I've been looking around some more and I kind of like the silverstone striders more specifically the ST75F. Now would that be worth getting over the 620 HX?

IMAO The Corsair is without a doubt a better built PSU :)

If you can get by with the HX620, go for it over the Strider.
If you need 750W, go for a ST75ZF Zeus....You betcha!

For the all out better Etasis guts vs. the Enhance guts, caps, regulation,performance, ect.
All Zeus line PSU's are built on better platforms and built to better specs
then any of the PSU's from the Strider line;)
The only thing better on the Strider, are the 120mm vs. 80mm fans and being modular.

I thought I read somewhere that etasis was better than enhance but couldn't remeber where. If I could I would get a zippy though but I'll just stick with the HX620 I just ordered.

You'll be more then happy years to come with the HX620:D

Not to say that Etasis is "better" then Enhance.
I ment that the Zeus line is better then the Strider line, given the choice.
