Yeah, it kinda caught me by suprise too when I opened it up to check it
out... the ps is towards the front of the case, on the left side and
theres a side fan on the case - thats for the ps.  (I had assumed it was
in the rear, but thats just a 92mm case fan)  So actually the intake fan,
power jack, and actual power lines all feed from the 'same side' of the ps
into the center of the case, and a small black power cable runs from the
ps to the rear of the case.

It's a nice ps, its antec, doubt if it would ever give me any problems for
the life of the pc (and has 3yr warranty, 380watts, good cooling), but I
doubt could find replacement for it nearby should anything ever happen.  I
dont think a standard atx would work.  Yes, I believe it does have the
extra 4pin plug for the athlon cpu power, and many extra plugs for 'fan
only'.
