I run a 750w Zalman.

It's better to buy a quality PSU that's correctly sized for your needs then to buy the biggest thing on the planet and never use it. If you only need 350w (peak) then get a 400w supply. If you need 500w (peak) then get a 600w. Don't buy a 1200w supply and only use 300w because it's much less efficient doing so.

Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Modular, over 3 years old and still going strong, best and most reliable PSU I have ever owned.
 
Thermaltake Toughpower 850W Modular, about 3 years old, no problems so far.

I have the same one . Though i bought it recently (4 days ago) from our good friend scaminatrix. :) It is a Brilliant PSU, so far.

Upgraded from an OCZ StealthStream 500W, that did me well!

I agree. That's why I use the [url="http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp]PSU Calculator[/url]. Of course, I use the Pro version since it calculates amps as well as watts, then I buy a PSU based on the amperage rating.
 
Ultra LSP 750(watts) here. I've had it for about almost 2 years now, and it fits my needs well. I will not have any issue upgrading to a larger GPU in the future.

Corsair CX600 here, have had it for about a year now needed something cheap though, only got it to power my 6870.
 
720WATT:) Enermax Liberty ECO II 720
 
I use a Gigabyte Odin GT 800W. I've made a lot of changes on my rig but the PSU still lasts. ;)

I know thats too much for my system. :P
 
Antec CP-850 here
 
I've been running an XClio 550W Greatpower for the last few years, been waiting for a good deal on a nice 750-850W PSU to upgrade, though it may still be a while since I don't have a whole lot of expendable cash right now.
 
430W bequiet Pure Power running right at its limits. Maybe even a bit past (see specs). Still, it's holding up very well.
I do belive 1kw or 1,2kw are waaay overkill for any system but the most extreme quad-gpu setups. I'd rather get a well-sized quality PSU and spend the money saved on more RAM or a faster-binned CPU.
Might i add - the bequiet is inaudibel even under full load. No need to oversize for silence.

I answered about my main system, which has a TX750. I have a bunch of other PSUs as well, at least one in each category in the poll except the "above 1000 W" one.
 
AX1200.
Why? Because I can.
 
i have a 750W and a 1000W, not because i need it, but because it means they stay cool and run silently when i load my systems.

Long time no see, man; where have you gone?

Clicked on Hadoop page in your siggy - you are Web developer/designer? I learn it too; Apache - sounds familiar, like end of 90's/beginning of 2000-type of familiar, though forgot what is it. As for bunch of PSUs: you got one spare for me for no fee @ all? :laugh: Sounds like you have your private PC store beside studying, in case & i didn't missed alot. Sameah lir'ot otha, achi. :) Equals to "Glad to see you, bro" in case & everyone asks what this means in Hebrew. :toast:

Oh, I am around, just a bit busy with life. How ya doing bro?

Hadoop doesn't have anything to do with web development/designing. It is an open source implementation for the Map-Reduce concept.

And nope, no spare PSUs, they're all working hard :D
