I have one of these in my main distributed computing rigs, and it is a beast: LEPA G900-MA 900W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLU...

It's basically a rebranded Enermax, and it's an 80+ Gold 4 rail design (30A each). Has six 8 Pin PCIe connectors with very thick wiring, and it handles a 600w continuous load 24/7 in my system with no problem. JonnyGURU seemed to be pleased with it as well. Nearly a full modular PSU as well.

Just my 2 cents but the Corsair HX series IMO is phenomenal. I have a HX1000 and its been running 24/7 for 4 years strong handling crossfire 4850s. I think under the HX's hood its a Seasonic PSU too.
