I've used three types:

Antec Quattro 1000
OCZ Prostreme 1000
Kingwin 1250w

...and one combination:

Antec Quattro 1000 + Thermaltake Toughpwer Express 650w

The Antec and OCZ would run fine at stock and with a light OC, but would shut down periodically if I maxed out (i7 @ 4.1ghz/480s @ 875/1750/2150). I'm running 9 fans, 4 HDs, a pump and a couple LED arrays, so this might have pushed me over the edge. The OCZ + Thermaltake combo ran fine, but I didn't like have the extra PSU taking space.

I'm running a Kingwin 1250w now (the one [H] recommends) and run no problems fully cranked.

I have a Topower TOP-1500w coming tomorrow and will be plugging in a third 480 then.

Ya, but I want to see what people are using in the real world.....

I have two 480's on a Tt Toughpower 1200W but I plan to add a 3rd card soon.

I'm running 3 480s in a HAF932 with dual PSU's.

I have an Antec TP-750 and EA-650, as both PSU's have a much higher amperage than their wattage suggests, I do just fine with plenty of extra room. In fact the TP-750 is basically the same thing Antec sells all the way up to 1000 watts, merely with different names and a couple different parts.

Running a pair of 480's with a Corsair HX1000, no issues at all. Pulls about 900W at the wall with a full GPU load.

Turbo-Cool 860 on an i7 920.

A pair of 480's on a Kingwin Lazer 1000. Great PSU, good reviews too. I think it's 80Bronze, not sure.

oh man 900 watts for 2 cards is more than I anticipated.

Oh well, got enough.
