Im building a new dedicated folding rig so im going to need a PSU to power 3 gcards and a be class (2300) cpu....

What is the minimum tat you guys think I could get away with?

GPU wise we are talking 3 x 9600 gso's..

These guys will be the main culprits..

I would think about getting a Antec Quattro 1000W PSU, definately by looking at the spec of your computer and what not

Your PSU is enough for this rig.

the 9600gso (or 8800gs) only pulls around 60w at load when oc'ed (max shaders to 1900ish with small oc on core and mem)

A good 500w psu with strong rails should do the job.

If you get lucky and get cards with 8 mem chips search the web for some softmod upgrades
