The Galaxy is a tad bit longer than your typical ATX power supply. The height and width of the Galaxy are pretty standard as far as ATX power supplies go. It's the length (as shown above) that may present a problem. The Galaxy will extend 8.75 inches inside the enclosure, while a standard ATX power supply will only go about 6.5 inches. That 2.25 inch difference is a lot, depending on the enclosure you plan on using.

     The Antec Performance One series P180 had to have some pretty surgery done to it in order to make room for the Galaxy, but it was nothing that a Dremmel tool with a cutting wheel couldn't handle. I'm a believer that there really are no perfect PC enclosures. You just have to pick what is closest to your needs and then try and make it work with some modifications here and there.....

     Here we can see the Galaxy, with the permanently attached cable assemblies. All of the wire harnesses are protected with a nylon mesh, except the two lead fan-header wires which are used to tell the motherboard how fast the Galaxy's fan is spinning. In all, you'll have; (3) SATA plugs, (3) 4-pin Molex, (2) four pin CPU auxiliary power plugs, and (2) PCI express power plugs at your disposal before hooking up any of the included modular pieces.

     The modular cable system really gives a lot of flexibility to the system builder. Enemax has literally stuffed the package with plenty of extra cables.
   2x PCI Express - of course with only one plug per string
   4x SATA with 3 SATA power plugs on each string
   3x Miscellaneous Peripheral with 3 Molex
   3x Miscellaneous Peripheral with (2) Molex and 1 Floppy drive type connector
   1x 2x2 +12 volt cable
