This ePower 450W PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817101044) is perfect if you need some more juice for your system cheap. Only $20 for an extra 450W boost to power a GPU or whatever you may have. Where do you put it? It's specially made to fit in a 5.25" drive bay. Beautiful :)
Wow...that is awesome. I could potentially put 2 of those in the HAF 932 and use them to power one GPU each? That would take some serious strain off the main PSU...
Or with 450 watts, you could probably tap into the wires with some 6 pin GPU power wires and run 2 GPUs from 1 of these.

It'll run 2 GPUs with the wires it comes with (2 6pins and 2 6+2pins, so it can be configured as either 4 6pins or 2 6pins and 2 8pins). I wouldn't try running 2 5970s with this thing though. 2 5870's un-overclocked at full load would be an 83% load on this PSU, so maybe not that either, since draws above 75% hurt a PSU's efficiency and jack up your power bill. However it does have a molex connection too, so running 1 high-end GPU and 1 hard drive/DVD drive with this would be perfect. 2 5850's would work just fine as well.
Beats the hell out of spending $300 for a 1200W PSU

You're telling me! What I was envisioning was 2 of these in the front of the HAF, seperated by several slots for cooling purposes.
Hooking up a single 5970 to each one when I can afford the GPUs...
Hmm...tempting. ;)
