Esquire Ramps Up with Antec

It would be cool too if you can get LIAN-Li Cases. and more high performance ram. eg GEiL

ANtect is awesome, will get psu asap! i had an old true power 550 with 20 pin connectors. what an epic psu. it was shame the standard then moved to 24 pin, so i couldnt use it with my new rig. i hadnt known. damn i was sad.

You can still use it (well maybe), with the clip facing you let the extra 4-pins overhang on the one side of the MB connector if there are no caps or other components in the way. This is how I used my Antec PSU on a new rig until it eventually gave up after many years of reliable use ( It died during all that eskom load shedding we had not to long ago). I still do this when testing older motherboards with the newer 24 pin PSU connectors.

Or you could use a stanley knife and cut the extra 4 pins off if there are components in the way on the overhanging side.

As you can see the original 20 pins remain the same.

Interesting, but i think i got it the other way round. i got the psu which only has 20 pins, where can i get the other 4?

Sorry for the confusion. If the PSU as high current rails then I suspect you might be able to tap them off the existing feed into a separate 4-pin connector.
