I hope I'm not taking this OT or hijacking from the original inquiry, if so plse ignore, but the mention of power supplies was interesting. I picked up a new vid card a couple of weeks ago, only to realize that it needs a more powerful psu. The ATX psu size has changed since I got my comp and they won't fit in my case. So I'm curious about what you said here. Did you rig up the new psu externally? Were the wires long enough to get inside and reach, or is it possible to get extender cables?
