Title: PowerBird

No, it's not Phoenix on a power trip.  It's a new line of high-end power supplies by Topower with modular connectors.  There's a 900 watt and an 1100 watt model.  [H]ardOCP (http://www.hardocp.com) has a review (http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTU0NywxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==) of both.  The 900W model won their Editor?s Choice Gold Award.  The 1100Watt model did not fare as well.  [H]ardOCP does some serious testing on power supplies that's all science and no BS, so if a power supply passes their torture tests it's a good piece of equipment.  They're not cheap, but if you're looking to build a high-end system the 900 watt model is worth a look.  You might also check out other power supplies they've reviewed (http://www.hardocp.com/reviews.html?cat=NDUsUFNVIC8gUG93ZXIgU3VwcGxpZXMsaGVudGh1c2lhc3Q=) if you're considering a new PSU.
