Yes, it's in the mail. I can't promise a review very soon however, as we have to work in the remaining review around Christmas.

I'm getting the 700W unit. I don't have the right equipment to test it under a high load. Any advice?

Toss in as many HD's as possible and run a couple of high flow water pumps! If I had a 700W PSU I would at least want a reason!

A reason...how about the fact that they're sending me one, and I don't have to pay for it? Is that reason enough?

That is a fucking AWESOME reason!!!

there is no way you could get your hands on 4 7800GTX 512mb's is there? Also they woudn't draw that much power idle....how could you make them all go to a full 3D load?


Quad Opteron 880's, 16GB of ram, 32HDD's should EASILY max the PSU out.

I'd have to figure out a way to run two 3D applications on two monitors while using SLI mode in order to utilize four cards at full-load methinks. Ouch, I probably wouldn't make it.

I could also run several background applications to spread the load over several processors, but as for advanced configurations, eh, forget it.
