Well if you ever want to try I would suggest a PSU that has has a complete modular system. Where every single wire can be disconnected. Then just sleeve one wire at a time. Really hard to screw up. I've done 5 power supplies and have only had one issue. That is w/ an Enermax Revo85+. Since I sleeved the wires all the way inside of the PSU the extra space needed by the sleeving put some pressure on some of the cable bends. Occasionally it won't turn on. I would never suggest an Enermax if you just wanted to sleeve it. It was horrendous to do.

Came via UPS or something IIRC. Canada Post wont touch packages over 60 pounds. Did a good job packing, arrived in perfect condition.

Well after some use if anyone wants to move to a bench table I can definitely say do not buy this. It has some horrible design flaws. I have my doubts the manufacturer even tried to use it themselves before throwing it for sale.
A.) Only a single slot card will fit in the last expansion slot.
B.) You can't plug anything in the top portion of the expansion cards. were these people thinking. Want to use more than one display in your videocard? Nope, not happening. Want to use all the channels on your analog sound card? Nope, not happening. I can't believe this could be overlooked.

Anyways here is a pic of it currently.

He's not running SLI, at least if he's folding on them. But no you can't run tri-sli on GTX460's

Correct. 2 of them are in SLI. The other is for PhysX, although i never play games w/ PhysX. Mostly they just sit and fold since I rarely game.
