plugs    

The back modular plugs are labeled for ease of use.  Two blue PCI-E sockets, three black SATA sockets and three white PATA sockets. The motherboard cables and the first PCI-E rail are not modular.  This hybrid setup is quite common as the required cables for most installations do not need to be offered as optional.

The Install

I installed the Power-Mod 700W into my Intel build using an Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @n Edition Motherboard based on the X38 chipset. The build includes an Intel Q6600, a Sapphire 4650 HD Overclock Edition video card and a 4 GB kit of OCZ Intel Extreme Edition PC3-12800 in the 1600 XMP configuration.  Storage was provided by both 250 GB and 750 GB Seagate SATA II drives and a Plextor 16x DVD burner all mounted in the GMC Toast case.

This build represents a pretty common gamers rig that you might consider purchasing a 700Watt power supply like the Power-Mod 700 for.  The system has a 129W draw at idle and should never peak over the rated 700 even while maxed out.

Toast

The GMC Toast Case is a non traditional layout that challenges hiding cable runs along the front edge of the motherboard and out the front to a hidden DVD burner.  I found no issues with cable length at all. In fact the generous cable lengths could easily run the length of a full tower chassis.
