So I'm gearing up for a system overhaul that I'll do later this year (x79 ) and I want to go ahead and get a power supply that will feed said beasty. Why get a psu now and not when I do the overhaul? Well I would like to use my recently acquired second GTX 480 in SLI with my current one as soon as possible. The new beta of SLIPatch just came out and it now supports the 275 forceware drivers, which means I should be able to do SLI no sweat on my Rampage Formula X48. This should tie me over until the system overhaul, at which time I plan to migrate the 480 SLI to that setup and await the maturation of the 28nm gpus.
I've researched and looked over reviews of the Antec HCP-1200 quite a bit and it looks like a very good unit. Is there any other unit out there that is in the same ballpark as the HCP-1200 quality-wise/rail-wise/noise-wise?
The one thing I have to be weary of is the depth of the unit. I have a hard limit of 190mm of space in my case (CM Storm Sniper) before I have to remove the bottom intake fan, which I'm not wanting to do. The Corsair AX1200 is another unit I considered, but it is about 200mm deep. The HCP-1200 on the other hand is about 180mm deep.
I would very much prefer to stay at least 1100w to give me some breathing room for this setup and my future setup. I plan on using quite a few drives + SSD and I do plan on overclocking a good bit.
So with all that said and all of my "search filters" applied. Any other units I should check out before I pull the trigger in a week?
