Well you just need to look at > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...Q_Tec_139.html

(Note - the power cables are shorter than usual on this PSU - Motherboard = 12", HDD/CD = 13" first connector +7" second, P4 = 11", AUX = 11". Please ensure this is sufficient before ordering.)

All the Q-tec gold psu's seem to have shorter cables than usual now that isnt a good sign of quality they have obviosuly skimped, To save money, the cords are shorter than usual. Q-Tec is a brand you here so many problems about, i wonder if they actually have quality control in their factories.

Found this info on a forum about Q-Tec Psu's dont know if its true.

I own one. They are appalling units. It's rated at 400W, it powers a duron 1300 (stock), a 9200SE and 256 megs RAM, and it sags on EVERY rail.

Don't buy one. Some European countries won't even let them be sold as they do not reach their electrical requirements and are deemed dangerous.
