Is there one where you can detach/attach EVERY SINGLE CABLE? EDIT: How about these? http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=st1000-nv&area=usa http://www.tagan.com/index.php?c_id=32&products_id=176&p_cata_id=63 http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&tbcate=22&id=2532 EDIT II: This seem to be a kick ass PSU, but so far I can't seem to find it in Germany http://hardware.gwn.com/reviews/review.php/id/140/title/Ultra_X3_1000-Watt_Power_Supply.html http://www.ultraproducts.com/product_details.php?cPath=97&pPath=632&productID=632 Anyone knows of a retailer in Germany for the Ultra X3 ?.

I assume you want one to have neater cabling in your case. Benefits from any improved air-flow will be minimal in a water-cooled system. PS - You definitely got the hardware bug.

Na the reason is...well cable management (looks neat), and my case is not the biggest as you might know . But the fan on my 800W Tagan is starting to make noises, I have to bang it really hard right in the middle of the fan bezel and it stops...sometimes!. Its really annoying as it keeps coming back. So I thought to look around for a new one, and why not just go all the way then . Actually found the SilverStone Strider 1KW (full modular) for 240 Euro. Did not order it yet...but considering

The only retailer seems to be http://www.misco.de (according to Ultra's website).

Priceless. Maybe consider replacing -with huge precautions to avoid a lethal electric shock- the fan rather than the whole PSU? Laughing

have done this with numerous psu's to make them quieter, have even had em running off molex or the 3-pin connectors on the mb when 2-pin connectors have been encountered. Would be a shame to retire or demote such a nice psu.

Yea yea BUT I WANT SOMET NEW! Actually (this will sound like a bad excuse but) Some time this spring I will build up a new puter anyway, the idea is then that my son will get this case, mobo and gracard etc. So I will eventually need a 2nd PSU anyway. There it is I am only waiting for the Yorkfield/Wolfdale and the 9800 GTX etc.
