I have a solution, just put a link to www.pricegrabber.com www.resellerratings.com and froogle.google.com in the beginning of the post, and tell people to copy the model and paste it in those three to find the most reputable retailer that carries it at the most competitive price, but keep the links you already have so people can use them just to get a rough idea of what the Power Supply looks like, a good price range to compare to other sites.

Securemart.com for example has the best prices for the Antec NeoHE 550/500, TruePower Trio 550/650 and Corsair HX520/620, but their site doesn't have pictures, user reviews and is rather hard to navigate.

I really do think that the Ultra X3 1000W is worthy enough to take a spot in the $300 range. So many people still associate Ultra PSUs with:turd: though.

I do agree. That PSU got great reviews.

Note that it's build by someone else than the previous (crappier) Ultra PSUs. And it's really a pretty good quality build.

Here's the list of PSUs certified for Crossfire 2900's (thus two PCI-E 8-pin connectors, or adapter included with PSU):
http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossf...dyourown2.html


From the list, I would recommend the following PSUs, and I added some PSUs with one connector that I recommend (obviously not on the Crossfire list ):

One connector:
  • Silverstone OP and DA series (OP is fixed wires, DA is modular. Otherwise identical)
  • http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817256022
  • I believe that you can get an adapter cable from Corsair with their PSUs. So, the Corsair 520W and 620W are also good options.

Two connectors:
