Antec NeoPower It's Modular and it's only like 110. A little over your budget, but it's definately worth it. I bought it and I am very happy.

Another vote for this psu. I have it and it works very well and is pretty darn quiet. I have seen at least one user here who has this hooked up to a SLI system using 6800 ultra's and a A64 @ 2.6ghz and he says it is very stable. I got mine for $50AR so deals can be found on them.

3. DON'T LOSE POWER WITH MODULAR PLUGS
Due to their look, convenience, and cost savings for manufacturers, modular plugs have become a popular power supply feature. Unfortunately, there has been little or no discussion of the impact of this feature on overall performance and reliability. The fact is, modular plugs limit power by adding to electrical resistance. The voltage drop can be as much as would occur in 2 feet of standard wire. Worse yet, modular plugs utilize delicate pins that can easily loosen, corrode, and burn, creating the potential for a major system failure. That's why pros specify uninterrupted wire!
