What is considered a reliable, high-quality PSU for such a build??
I was thinking this:
SILVERSTONE ST1200 1200W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

The thermaltake PSU's seem to have problems running multiple GTX 285's in SLI . Based on reviews and issues others have posted on various sites.
Do I really need to run a 1200w PSU for this build? I understand clean power is everything!!
I am getting a similar build and i am getting the corsair HX1000w power supply, it is recommended by Nvidia for 2 GTX 285 in SLI , and it has great review all round but im not sure about the Silverstone.
I would say Corsair HX1000W, or PCP&C's 1000W PSU.
