Default PCI-E 8pin connectors

In light of Ziwro's Enermax Infiniti thread ( http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=498 ) about the new 8 pin power plug for graphics cards and jonnyGURU's thread about them a while ago ( http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171 ) I think we should make a list of all the power supplies that are out already that have the new connector and any coming down the pipeline as well as discuss any issues regarding the new connector (jG mentioned many manf having the wrong 8pin connector).

I am kind of happy I haven't bought a PSU yet (was planning on getting a Etasis ET-750) since I don't want to deal with another power adapter. I am using one right now from my CM RealPower RS450ACLX to my 7900GTO and I find it very annoying to route. Thus I think it would be useful to me and (I guess) others too who don't want to have to deal with such an inconvenience again.

The rumor (is this confirmed?) is that ATI's nex-gen graphics cards (R600 series) will use the new connector and since (I imagine) most people buy power supplies and plan to keep them a while it be useful to future proof now. EDIT: Looks like this will be a concern for future Nvidia owners as well:
