Do people think I should get one? Would really like a bigger case and this power supply thing looks handy if I ever want to upgrade to SLI etc.

Unless its on special offer somewhere I'd say no. Simply because a rather small-ish case like that crammed with two PSU's and pre-installed sound dampening material doesn't sound like a good combination.

I think you'd be much better off getting the case that you want (even if it is a P190) and then picking a single PSU with wattage suited to the components you're intending to use.
 
its a big case for me! I dont mean big like the huge gaming towers you can get. Just more space than an antec 300. I want it to be quiet too. The two power units may not be more efficient but are stronger than one. The only problem i see is that they require two plug sockets.
 
I don't really have one so to say, but this would require some saving, and with xmas coming up and what not... ;)
 
For the man with no budget, my preference would be a Cooler Master ATCS 840 + an Enermax Revolution85+ or Corsair HX PSU :)
 
Jims got the nail on the head there tbh, Ive worked with a lot of cases and the 840 is still top of my list for build quality and design.
 
his budget is £100 guys lmao, atcs is? .........£160 :D id just go with a nice raven RV02B for £100 there sooooo purtyyyy.

I don't really like the Raven. It has cooling issues with multiple graphics cards, due to the way its fans are positioned, if you have more than one GPU at once, you get a hot pocket of air inbetween them, with pretty much no means to exhaust it.
 
Was actually looking at the 922, its looks cleaner to me, the only problem is that the motherboard tray doesn't extend all the way across the side of the case, so you can see all the cables that have been routed around there. I'm sure that could be sorted though with some nice coloured plastic tubing :D
 
922 is nice and its what I use between reviews atm tbh, but remember that the roof isnt standard spacing for watercooled radiators
 
ok cheers for the heads up. If I was going to go watercooled I would probably get one of those Zalman things. I think they look really sexy. Are there any cases where I could mount something like this inside with the front opened up to show the dials and what not?

Interior water cooling in a HAF 922.

Looks damn good.
