I ordered the 6800GT OC from chumbo.com awhile back, and I know that theyve been out of stock forever, but I just recieved this email and i figured I'd share it with you guys:

BFG 530 watt powersupply? I didn't even know that BFG made a PSU. I doubt that PSU can even handle SLI with 2 of those GT cards.

Wow! If that's true, it's still the cheapest price for two 6800GT PCI-E, they're warranted for an overclock AND you get a free kickass power supply? Cookielicious.

That just made my day. That's about the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Why would BFG market a Power Pack with the two cards, clearly intended and marketed for SLI, and the PSU if the PSU wasn't capable of running them? lol thanks for brightening my day with such an inane comment.

good deal for people who can afford it.

I thought it is a 550 Watt Power Supply:
550 watts to meet the needs of the most demanding systems
? PCI-Express ready
? Dual 12V rails for maximum power and stability
? Noise killer technology to minimize noise while providing excellent cooling
? 2 SATA connectors
? 24-pin mainpower with 20-pin adapter for motherboard flexibility
? ATX12V for Intel Pentium 4 and AMD based systems
? Two dual ball-bearing fans for extended life
? Over-volt, over-current, and short-circuit protection

BFG's website offers less detail than Chumbo. Pretty sad. http://www.bfgtech.com/power_supply.html
But they only sell the 550 Watt.

BFG has a link to the pdf spec file.
