Setup is DFI-SLI-D board with a Thermaltake Tsanami case.

I would prefer to get a LED PSU but function over fashion right?

Newegg has this for sale:

For around $55 shipped.

I also have a choice to get a Vantec Stealth 470W for $40 shipped.

Need a 24 pin as well...any suggestions or experience?

My setup will O/C but not too much. I like how the Aspire has green sleeving and the yellow DFI board might look pretty nice with it. I would want the PSU to be black and if possible, blue LEDs like the Aspire.

WHAT? WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

LOL, triple fans. That PSU must be one loud sumbitch.

Why don't you just buy one of those SLI-certified PSUs (Silverstone or PCP&C) and be done with it?

Excellent suggestion!

Dude, if you have a kick ass system and are skimping on the power supply, you will learn a very very painful lesson. Do yourself a favor. Pay around 105$ for a really nice power supply and save yourself the hassle of cleaning up a melt down of a 40$ psu, your mobo, cpu, hdd, and both graphics cards.

Haven't seen any reviews yet, but Antec's new 550W TruePower 2.0 is going for $110 at Newegg. Sweet price on what looks like an adapted and upgraded NeoPower sans the modular cables.

I second that, and the suggested Seasonic! :thumbsup:

I don't think this is a 24 pin PSU but i might be wrong. I have the 500w model. It was good enought for me. The fans can be loud but you can turn down the speed so it can be very quiet. I got a TTGI/LinkDepot 550W modular 24 pin PSU to replace it for my new setup. Comes with black sleeved modular cables, blue LED 140mm fan. Very nice PSU. Got it for $85 at Xoxide. Antec and OCZ are good but too expensive ($120+)
