Unfortunately not, i have the Thermaltake Soprano, a bit old now, but it was nice when i bought it. Need a new one, but cant justify the cost when all it does is sit next to me all day

There are connectors and devices out there that can piggy back two power supplies though, so i guess they implement one of those, not sure... there are guides all over the net on how to do it yourself

To me it doesnt really look all that great, the huge side fan looks discusting, the two power supplys don't really couver for everyones needs what if someone is running Dual 8800GTX's and tonnes of stuff like that will the 650W power supply handle all that?

Also the $449.99 price tag is a hefty fee, but I guess that's what you pay for a case like that, but overall I would take the P180B over P190 any day.

I don't get why two PSU's are needed, why not get one really good PSU?

Well, two PSU's each with say for example 38A on the +12v rail.... totaling independent dual 12v rails at a whopping 76A would most liekly cost a whole bundle less than a single PSU with anything near reaching 76A

Saying that, it then begs the question, what kind of system would ever need 76A, but still...

Antec don't make a single PSU as big as two of those

On the other hand with two PSUs one must consider potential load distribution and crossloading issues, and you've added a second point of failure. These two PSUs cost something like $230 at newegg. A quality 1KW can be found for around $300, which would be my preference if I were to have the option.

Well, I've seen shots of an AMD 4x4 system with a pair of FX-7x series CPUs, two 8800GTXs, etc... drawing over 1000W AC, and 2900XTs or 8800Ultras would draw even more (as would adding a TEC, raid array, etc...). Now granted there's only a very small minority of people with systems like that, but then again if you're spending this much money on a case, the rest of your system is probably very highend as well.
