Corsair HX1000 or AX1200?

Although 1000w would easily be enough for three GTX 570's, the HX1000 is an old and average performing CWT PUC unit, and isn't really worth the price. The AX1200 and HCP-1200 are both very good although I would go with the HCP... 100A on a single rail (AX1200) is pushing it, especially since OCP is non-existant on most single rails (even if it states it has it, it usually doesn't ~ complicated subject).

P.S any pics of your beast?

Il take some on the cam and upload in a min lol

Ironically the Antec high current pro 1200w has just appeared on the members market, brand new still in cellophane for £160

I don't quite have enough posts to get into that section just yet :(

This pretty much sums up what I was thinking lol, plus I was thinking about the over clocking/expandable headroom with a 1200w which the 1000w will have an earlier limit ;)

Yes I know I need to get a black SLI bridge, I am working on that and the cables out of the PSU are a mess due to the fact that I am going to change it anyway lol, hence the post :)
