I'm looking around for a PSU to power my server.

Now this is a fairly low spec machine, but it currently has 7 HDDs in it, and will as time progresses have more added. The reason I need to upgrade the PSU is I'm sticking in a (low end) graphics card for HDMI out, and my PSU *just* hits the minimum recommended wattage which is 400W, and I don't really want to be running the PSU at full load.

The OcUK psu's are obviously cheap, but they seem to have a really poor connectivity. I'm not looking to spend loads of money, but the more (sata) connectivity the better, what kind of wattage should I look at, and any recommendations?
 
Aye, I'm just concerned that when using the graphics card under load (for 1080p streaming) that it would run it too much at full load, the only additional compenents I'd stick in it will be more HDDs over time.

8xSata connectors on that OCZ looks brilliant. Think I'll go for that, thanks!
