PSU requirments for SLI systems?

I'd figure they must be outrageous, running two 6800 Ultras must take a lot
of power. Does Nvidia recommend a minimal PSU output rating for SLI systems?

Go to the bottom of the page. Look up the respective specs on the
manufacturer's web-site.

How about the new PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 850 SSI? 850W with four
12V rails @17A each.

The Enermax 701 will do just fine. Great PS too. ~ $150

FYI -- the 7800GTX takes ~ 10 watts less power than the 6800Ultra, at
max.

How about checking your personal power needs and current usage of it?

So what? $100-$150 is very little to spend for a flagship PSU when you are
sinking $800 for a pair of 6800 Ultras.

It's funny how people spend so much on one particular component of their rig
(Monitor, Vid Card, CPU) but get all whingey and complainey when they have
to spend an extra $50-100 on a PSU or MB to get a decent one.
