Power supplies :

When power supplies go pop.

I'm on the look out for a cheapie power supply to fix me up. I've got a little server PC happening, and i've put it together first thing that happened was the power supply in the case (antec) blew, scared the life out of me . I'm worried it was maybe how i wired the computer up or the cable (but what can go wrong with a standard 240 cable thats on the same strip as my laptop etc..).

Anyway it needs to run 5 molex hard drives a molex DVD drive 3 molex fans and power for case power light. So i need about 10 molex connections which doesn't sound easy. I hadn't actually connected them all up, just the main hard drive DVD drive and all the fans, i wasn't sure what i was going to do to power the other things after i got it all up and running, I was thinking maybe just y-splitters (but i maybe against that now ).

Most modern PSU's come with loads of SATA and useless connections this PC doesn't need, where should i be looking and at what?
