Tech Link (Power Supply): Face-Off! Monster 600W+, SLI-Ready Power Supplies from Thermaltake and Fortron/Source

SysOpt has an article for you guys who are always drooling for powerful power supply. They pit two great PSUs and compare how they fare with one another. If it's your cup of tea, you wouldn't want to miss on this one.

The popularity of 600W+ power supplies leaves little doubt that huge gains in system performance have only come with similarly formidable increases in power consumption. Consider systems sporting dual-core processors and dual-card graphics: adding two 7800GTX video cards to a Pentium D could push power requirement beyond 350W even before considering other components. Further developments such as nVidia's recent Quad-SLI configuration, the proliferation of four-drive RAID arrays, and always-popular case lighting components all signal power-pulling insanity!
