700w = £185 easy Probs £200 
Take your pic after that

I have yet to hear back reference specs/prices but rest assured we will have the info just as soon as possible.
stocky said:Hmmm, quite a lot, but probably quite close Mav - but I've been waiting for this one. Depending on the price and specs I'll probably grab one
Do we yet know whether this will be using a 120mm fan?
PCP&C dont put fans near components I remember reading tho, so the fan is on outer edge of PSU, away from components due to ... (cant remember rest) - but I do remember that they dont put fans close to components if they can avoid it.

Okay guys I have had a response just now - you're going to be looking at *approx* £180 inclusive of VAT plus shipping. So mav was more or less spot on!! The only issue now is lead times, I've been told its still 8 weeks away!!

It'll have a Delta in there i bet!!!
I aint happy with mine as it's grinding away, going to trim the fan blades a tad and get an anit vibration mount for fan to mount it in tut psu case, then shall defo use a psu anit vib mount on psu, bloody thing

There is one issue that we need to discuss when we talk about this.
Me and gollum calulated that we needed 700w for 2x7800GTX and a FX57 @ 3.6Ghz - thats more like 750w when the card are volt modded/overclocked as well (The PCP&C 510SLI DLX pushed out 700 max).
Now we are looking forward to an FX60 @ 2x 3.4Ghz (typical at present but could be 2x 3.5+Ghz) - It would seem that a 850w PSU could almost be the requirement in the very near future.
The biggest issue we have is that even though CPU's at 65nm are becoming more energy efficient and cooler - all that means is we want them to go faster, which then make the energy consumption (at best) the same as previous revisions.
There will come a point in the very near future where someone is going to have find a different way of generating more speed other than making it go faster in terms of mhz.
x86 should be royally killed off if (before too long) the standard becomes we all need 850w / 1kw (or higher) PSU's just to perform.
GPU's are the same - the fact we now need two to play a game was great to start off with (the novelty of uber FPS and lovely eye candy) but now we are presented with a batch of issues regarding power requirements at a time when we all see energy prices rising at 20%.
A 1kw psu at full bore draws 1170watts (83% efficient) thats 10pence an hour to run your PC (assuming a 1kw draw), lets say we use our PC typically for 25 hours a week (3hrs a day monday to friday and 10hrs on a weekend) that's £2.50 a week or £130 a year.
6 months ago (when we were all running single core) a decent 500w PSU would be good to go - and you running costs are half what they are now at only £65 a year.
It all adds up.

This is the way things have been going, double everything up for increased performance, which obviously must include power requirements, if you double your CPUs and GPUs (main power draws in system apart from motherboard) you are likely to almost double your power consumption.
I will avoid SLI and Xfire like the plague and stick with my 510 deluxe.
