You need to give some idea though, otherwise we might spec you something for £3000

Fulax's build is rather tasty. Regardless of budget just get that!

Green RAM would be nicer though, orange would look a bit off.

HalfBakedJake · 18 Mar 2014 at 15:27

How in gods name is that a Fully modular power supply when the EPS and 24pin cables are internally attached???

Seasonic M12II Bronze Series has been the ever-popular power supply series of the semi modular category.

stulid · 18 Mar 2014 at 15:30

Who said its fully modular? :confused:

HalfBakedJake · 18 Mar 2014 at 15:33

stulid · 18 Mar 2014 at 15:34

Never trust OcUk descriptions.

lee32uk · 18 Mar 2014 at 15:35

If you look on Seasonics website you will see that it is fully modular

I think ocuk must have the wrong picture ?
