About to throw it in a compactor... PSU help

post_break · 21-March-08, 06:40 PM

So I tear my linux server from the clutches of a nasty premod and I am transplanting it into my nice silverstone full tower case that I had painted and etched. Well everything is going not so smoothly. An hour into the swap and the mobo is pissing me off, there are no mounting brackets for hard drives, and now the final straw... The PSU cable that goes to the mobo is oh.... about a foot and a half too short.

Someone please recommend me a PSU that has long cables and is dependable. Im broke so I am not looking to spend a ton of money. This is a server with NO graphics card, NO SATA, and NO plans on having any of that. Just a simple 20 pin mobo and then that other 4 pin cable. 2 hard drives and a single dvd. I really appreciate it. Im so pissed off right now.
