is a 480w antec neo power enough to run an sli machine? if not, what kind will?
 
If you want a machine that will crash the hell out of your rig you do not want that PSU. ;)
The PSU you want is right here click here the price aint all that great but it's worth the money. :)
 
AMD 3200+ 90nm
1gb OCZ Gold VX DDR500
2 xfx 6800gt's
CD Burner
4 normal fans (1 92mm tornado, 2 92mm generic, 1 120mm generic, vantec fan controller)
74 gig raptor
80 gig sata 7200rpm
160gb ide 7200rpm

this is the system i plan on running

what is ATX 2.0 also??
 
I think the neo would be fine. I seen no difference in 510w and 480, but the neopower is antecs top of the line, I would think you would be fine.
 
is the neopower a considered a "truepower" just with different features?

A 510W PCP&C PSU is more like a 700W+ Antec supply. PCP&C tests their power supplies at 50C whereas other companies like Antec rate their PSU's at 25C in an unrealistic vacuum environment. The ability for a conductor to promote the flow of electricity at higher temperatures is severely less than at a lower temperature; hence, if the Antec was actually rated at 50C it would probably carry something closer to 350W of power (and the same would go for the current on the various rails as well).
 
Does anyone know where I could find a PCP&C PSU in canada? Ive been having a tough time finding one...
 
looks good, but that doesnt say much.....hopefully someone will know something more than i do on this :D
 
does the quality really justify the price difference between the OCZ/Antec and the PCP&C power supplies?
 
likely any of those would be fine
but yes the PCP&C is the superior supply and IMO worth the money considering the SLi investment

its also the only Nvidia SLi certified ATX12V formfactor supply
(there are 2 other EPS12V supplies, one of those also a PCP&C)

whats EPS12V?

so do you think i would be ok with an antec 450+ powersupply?
 
EPS12V is the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) spec
a truely compliant (and not just compatible) supply would have either 3 or 4 +12V rails
the connectors are the same as an ATX12V v2.0 supply (main 24 pin) except that the auxillary +12V connector is doubled from 4 pin to 8 pin (you can still connect it directly if there is clearence)
and its even probable that the 8 pin will be adopted by the ATX12V spec in the near future
(to power the nex gen of PCI-E 150W)

Antec doesnt make a 450 :p

but yes its likely the 480 v2.0 or the 550 v1.3 would suffice
they would not however be my first choice
for an SLi rig the PCP&C 510 would be
