Personally I couldn't get my Corsair HX1000W to power 3 GX2s and the rest of my machine, some say you can do it but in my experience it didn't work. On paper it should work though.

I think 1000W would be enough for 3, definitely for 2. I am running 2 on a 750W PSU.

Speaking of which, you can bump me up to 2.

I would suggest running wit 2 750w psus. You can get a 750w refurbed coolermaster with a 5yr warrenty from their store for $55. (Id give you the link but Im on.my phone. Just google refurb coolermaster750w)

Chalk me up for another onee! (that makes six now)

Managed to grab one for $120 shipped from a fellow member here

[Quantum Man]

That's a really good price. I guess I have to be more studious in my searching.

He actually contacted me

[Quantum Man]

aw man, you've got it made! I'm looking for a 4th one currently, let me know of any you come across.

[Quantum Man]

I found another one on eBay and got to use my 8% off coupon. I'll take a picture of all 4 when they get here and then I can officially be added to the list.
