P180 and Power Cable Length

[hmkim]

Since the PS is housed at the bottom of the P180, I'm worried that the power cable of the PS might not reach the power socket of the MoBo. I plan to use the Intel Bad Axe and an Antec PS (probably > 500W). Can anyone comment on the issue?

Ive not used that mobo of PSU, but a large proportion of PSUs don't have long enough cables to reach the P4 power connector with the p180 case. I have a Tagan PSU and the cable is JUST long enough, as in it really is stretching. The easiest way to fix this problem is to get a p4 power extension cable. This way means it doesn't matter what PSU or mobo you have. Or you could go for the cheaper ghetto option and extend the cable yourself.

if youve got an antec psu (a newer one) it should reach no problem
I was using p180 and truepower 550 and had no problems.

Plenty long, and 4 pin power cable too (see parts)
