Enermax PSU's are superior to Thermaltake ones. Go with the Enermax

I can't find anyone giving a definite answer, but I would certainly expect it to fit. I can't imagine TT making a proprietary case and PSU... it should all be normal ATX.

Yep the Enermax is a better psu (though not to say Tt dosent make good psu's). The case is ATX, the psu is ATX it will be fine.

The Thermaltake PSU does look like a good unit, considering how their last "SLI ready" 600W model was a flop. In the end though, Id go with Enermax, theyre known to be a higher quality PSU maker than Thermaltake.

NO....get the Enermax. I am the one who experienced the bad Thermaltake which was claimed to work for SLI.
