SLI PSU on a 95 (with shippin budget)?

[Lionblade]

That can handle 8800GT (cheaper ones) in SLI? Is it possible? See I'm buildin a rig but I can only spare bout 95 bucks to a PSU right now, I've heard the StealthXStream is good and I'm leaning towards that but I hear it may not be powerful enough for 8800 SLI and that the fan is crap, does anyone know a better deal? I really appreciate it.

StealthXstream is a very good PSU but for 2 8800GTs i recommend GAMEXSTREAM 700W

I'd go with antec or pc power and cooling. Stay away from toughpowers if your getting 8800gt's.

PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W, $130 now on sale at newegg. Sorry it's over $95. Think of the added $35 as insurance for your $600 video cards

What's wrong with the ToughPower? I thought those were very good...

They are very good PSUs (actually the best PSUs made by ThermalTake)

for single 8800GT both Corsair 550 and OCZ STEALTHXSTREM 600 are good
but for 2 cards, get OCZ GAMEXSTREAM 700

also u cant find a product that doesnt have a problem , for example some one may have a THERMALTAKE TOUGH POWER 700 and he may not have any problems with it but some one may have problems with it, so u cant say because some one has a bad experience with something, then its bad
