I have the HX520, rebate took about 2 months.
Read up on the HX1000 to be sure you want to go that way:

The highest-wattage model was a bit of disappointment. Like Thermaltake’s power supplies based on the same platform, the HX1000W could not deliver stable output voltages. As a result, it could not deliver the promised 1000 watts of output power, either.

Definitely the Corsair. That Antec has really low power 12V rails. When I read the specs I almost couldn't believe it. 18A is way underpowered for a $180 PSU. o.O

Also guys Im not limited on those psu if you have a suggestion of your own go for it. Only thing I that is a must is modular. The highest I want to go is like 200 after rebate.

Polo, I really like the 850 but I didn't see what made it better than the 1000 watt... It fits the antec 1200 case much better though.

Btw I've added you to msn.

Right on. Merely throwing out an option. I like to be informed of all sides when I spend some cash. Good luck on your choice.

I forgot my msn was on here. I'm never on it!

Can't speak for the Silverstone ST but had the Silverstone 1000w OP and was really happy with it, they upgraded me for the 1yr old OP to the 1200w ZM modular for only $50 bucks, 1200w ZM is a $400 dollar PSU.

Found out when removing the PSU all that was wrong was a bad connection Anyhow I didn't know that until I had the RMA number, they still sent me the new PSU no question asked!

My experience with Silverstone I'd have to say Silverstone would be my choice.
