I usually buy Corsair PSUs, and have never used an Antec power supply but I know their of good quality. I know that Corsair underates their PSUs, does Antec as well?
I want to SLI 2 GTX 275's, and the 300 series later (will they consume more power?). I'm going to buy it with an Antec 1200, plus, it's modular, so if anyone has any references that would be great.
Thanks guys :hello:

It should be fine. I use an old antec 350. I took it apart the other day to clean off the fans and get both turning again. I have emailed antec customer service twice. They sent me parts twice for my super lanboy case, and didn't even charge me, not even for shipping.

It's one of the highest quality power supplies out there. 2 reviews.

The biggest negative is it will only fit into 3 cases without case mods being done.

That's good, I think I'm going to order it, because 40$ off is an awesome price.
Thanks guys, and thanks for the references.
Just purchased it, really excited.
