No big issues with my SP 500 in a Antec P180. The only minor problem I had was with the FDD power connectors. The DFI Lan party boards have a seperate power plug for a FDD and the SP 500 comes with a single molex splitter to two FDD plugs. It was a bit of a stretch to get one end in the mobo and the other end in my FDD/mem card reader. I fixed this by getting a $.99 FDD extender from fry's.
Rails are rock solid powering my Opteron 165 @ 2.52ghz, eVGA 7800GT, 2 DVD burners, 250GB SATA, 4 120mm fans, etc...
Another awesome thing about this psu and the Antec case is the fan design. It uses dual 80mm fans, one on each end of the PSU. This does a great job pulling air through the lower compartment cooling my HDD. Also I have never had the outer fan on the psu turn on (it is thermally controlled) and the inner fan is silent so the PSU makes no noise at all, a very nice plus!

Cool, thanks for the insight. :thumbsup:
Forgot to mention I planned on using it with a Lanparty Ultra-D, that might've helped. Just wanted to make sure there were no big cable length issues.
About to pull the trigger on a Ultra-D, Opty 165, and 7900GT from Monarch. P180 is gonna be my case but I want silent and efficient so I'm torn between this SP500 and the Neo HE 430 for a little bit more.
