I'm upgrading my PC to 24/7 hosting machine/workstation and I've realized that I don't have enough connectors in PSU so I guess it's probably sign that it's good time to upgrade it as well.
Atm. I have some 600W Tagan, but it doesn't have enough 6pin connectors for 2 gpus. And in fact I'm starting to be afraid if it's not too weak in general for such setup:
i7-2600k (95W TDP)
4x4gb 1600 Kingston HyperX
Asus Sabertooth P67
MSI GTX580 3gb (250W)
+ PNY Quadro 4000 (150W)
+ some PCI-E 1x SATA II controller (haven't decided yet)
Asus Xonar D2
+ 5x Seagate NAS 2tb (5x5W)
WD Caviar Green 2tb (6W)
Seagate Barracuda 500gb (7W)
+ Samsung SSD 850 pro 256gb (5W)
LG DVD drive
7x 120mm fans
(+ are new parts planned for upgrade)
I hope I didn't forget about anything.

it requires a lot of power! But i kind of doubt HDD can take 10-30W. I've checked specs and put on list their power consumption under load. But I'm still not sure about other parts :c
In theory I could get 2x molex -> 6pin adapter for Quadro but then again I wouldn't have enough SATA power connectors for NAS so well... nope.
I'm not sure if it's good idea to get some cheap 100$ PSU, especially atm. I have issues with really strong noise on Xonar soundcard from GPU and I guess it's PSU fault. Also I wouldn't like it to fail from 24/7 load so I'd probably prefer to pay extra for quality.
