Your equipment is worth it - and your PSU and motherboard regulator circuits will thank you for it. Remember, a surge and power protector is bare anything more than a fancy and expensive extension cord. All computers should be on an UPS with AVR.
    Thanks for posting that, i never gave that a thought at all. Yes i just used the calculator and to got around the 700W mark. Your power supply does save me some money however it does not by far, I'd say about $40-50.

    What do you reckon?
    It has plenty of space for graphics, mobo etc etc.
    This is a Mid Tower. Not enough room. You really need a Full Tower. Here is another good collection of only full towers:

    The Thermaltake mounts the PSU vertically whereas most cases mount horizontally.

    The Galaxy PSU has a 120mm intake fan on the bottom and a 80mm exhaust on the rear.

    In the Thermaltake case the bottom fan becomes a side fan.

    This is why the HDD rack to the side needs to be removed.

    There are few cases larger than the Thermaltake but I will keep looking.

    Ah that website is easier. Tells you what power supplies they put in them. I found 4 decent cases which do fit the Enermax Galaxy 1000W.

    So far I am still not seeing anything better than the Thermaltake Armor.

    The problem with a bottom mount is that your lower PCI_E card will be right on top of the intake fan on the PSU.

    The Thermaltake leaves a great open space for intake air although you do need to remove the HDD rack. This rack can be moved to the front if needed but there is already a front mounted fan cooled 3 HDD rack in the front.

    And some tall full tower cases with bottom PSU bays require some long PSU cables - most of the better PSUs do, but something to think about.

    I recently bought a Ultra m988 and like it. It's very roomy, and light, and has an air filter too.

    Just thought id say that my rig has been build last weekend and booted first time to top it off and runs like a charm. Currently overclocking the rig and I would like to say thanks to all that helped me decide my rig in the 'developing' stages.

    I'll post pictures of my rig soon (:
