    Here is a couple of poor pics but they do show the size difference between the 120 and 160 PSU.

    Thanks Babyhemi, pics put it in perspective.
    About the powercord, can't you use anyone as long as it fits in the hole.
    I always thought they were the same.

    The Powercord came with mine and its the same one that comes with the stock PSU...

    The Targus/Lite-On one i have also comes with everything though it uses the standard desktop power cord and the one it comes with is super short if i remember correctly since i have had it forever ...

    You have to make sure she's grounded first before you stick it in the hole in the back.

    You too Soviet?
    All I wanted was a bigger PSU, not so much for benchmarks just for when I get a 920-XM and decide to push it a bit I won't hit any walls.
    If you OC a 5870 or 285 do you use much more juice than when running at stock levels?
    I said walls not balls.OK! ;)

    I got one of these too. Mine seemed to be brand new, and it has been working great. I really got it because I wanted a straight plug, and a spare too. If I need more power in the future, added bonus. And it was a great price. As you can see in babyhemi's pics, this PSU is not much bigger than the one that comes with the 8760. I definitely like it.

    My one finally arrived and I am glad to say that it is brand new. It took longer to arrive as expected because I am in the UK but it was worth the wait. The straight plug is so much better and build quality is excellent. I will use the smaller one for when I travel and this bigger one at home probably.
