Hey guys,
Looking for a quick answer if possible.
I had purchased this case http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129046 as well as this motherboard http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813128445 for an htpc I was building. The power supply that was included in the case did not have a connection for the cpu on the motherboard. So I am now thinking about getting this case http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129054 and buying a power supply for it. However now I am confused as to what type of power supply i need to get to insure I have that 8 pin plug for the CPU power. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to figure it out real quick and order what I need within the hour.
Thanks,
Cody

If that case takes a standard PSU then just look up psu on new egg and check the details. they will tell you what type of plugs it has This is an example : http://www.newegg.co...82E16817371015

Click on the details tab on that page and scroll down and it will show you the types of connectors.

I just used the one I linked for an example. I would look around and see what else is out there.Just check the specs and read the reviews. Nice case, I've been wanting to get one like that for some time now.....Some day. :D
