PSU with a lot of sata power leads <£100

I realised earlier that I'd made a little faux pas. In that I ordered a new hdd for my server, and it's run out of SATA power leads .

I have 10 hard-drives in there, and no cd drives so I can't even get rid of that temporarily.

I can't seem to find a PSU in this price range, in the upto 800W sort of territory that has more than 10 sata leads. Is this something I might have to up my budget for? The EVGA Supernova was looking great, a 650W 80 Plus Platinum at under £100. But it's "only" got 9 sata leads!

If it has spare molex's, get a extension lead with many SATA power on it.
Drives don't take a whole lot of amps.

It doesn't have spare molex's, but I could use sata splitters I guess. I was just reluctant to do so in case it wasn't good for the supply to the drives.

The 650 P2 do also have up to 6 Molex connectors you can run with it. The adapter for molex do mostly have 2 at each port and like already stated, no problem for the drives

Yes I should have had the wit to think of the molex>sata route myself. Certainly makes things easier!
