Good taste! The one in *my* rig (not my wife's) is ASUS A8N-Sli Deluxe. It still sings a pretty tune, but on this 32-bit machine, I'm maxed out at 4gb of Ram and a dual core processor. If I want to play with the big boys, I'll have to take the pieces from it I need and start over in a BYO system. But that's not going to happen for awhile; this one I will take my time on and build it from the ground up, this I promise you. My precious!

I guarantee that this is extreme overkill.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing! 1000w power supply with two 512 vid cards? I have an 800w in my computer with two 512 sli and never even come close to draining its power. Even at 1gb PCI vid cards, I doubt you will need that much power, unless you want to go with a Raid 10 (quad-sata hard drives) configuration. Just my opinion.
EDIT: Just saw last two replies in thread. Good idea to think ahead on power consumption. Giving me more thought about upcoming impending circumstances.
