Any Abit AV8 owners?

According to a review this board comes with a SATA power cable, is this cable able to plug into a molex connector from the PSU then into the SATA drive? The reason I ask is the PSU i'm thinking of buying doesn't have SATA power connectors and I don't want to buy a SATA/molex converter if the mobo comes with one. TIA.

some SATA drives allow both sata power and molex power connectors for the drive. so you can use just a molex power connector.

Waheed, i've had another look at the Scan website and found this PSU -

Hopefully Scan will have the Coolermaster case in stock by next saturday so I can get the clobber from them instead of making a trip to Microdirect. Roll on april 9th!
