like the title says, Would you trust a $50 thermaltake add on power supply with your brand new GTX/GTS being $650/$469 respectively.

If it's the GFX 5.5" bay PSU you're talking about, then yes.

I still am not too convinced about the quality of Thermaltake PSUs.... thus, I'd not do it myself.

FSP has one also:
FSP Group (Fortron Source) BoosterX 3, 300W ( Max. 400W ) SLI Graphic Power Supply $89.99

And that one I would trust

I'll just add in that I'd take whichever is cheaper, both is good, and none of them have exploded/whatever (yet

)

There Both reliable...FSP maybe abit more. Remember the price of a product doesnt affect its performance..Thus just because it may be 50 Dollars doesnt mean its crap or will crap out on you.

For crying out loud, the PSU is SLI "Certified".

What else you guys want? That the nVidia's CEO hands it to you personally?

I would definitely use that PSU if I had an 8800 GTX.

Actually I would perfer if they did. I had to rip out my friends Thermaltake PSU because it was wreaking havoc with his machine! It wasn't even OCed and it wouldn't boot! Replaced it with the stock 300W that came with his computer and that works fine...
