Power supply?

Well I need the power because I am building a system with one of the soon-to-be out SLI motherboards. I have to be able to power 2 6800gt video cards.
 
Just an update. I have just ordered the OCZ ModStream 520W Power Supply from
eXcaliberPC.com for $125.00 + $4.00 shipping. The ModStream 620W peak load which should be more than enough to power just about anything I want to do.
 
AFAIK 2 6800GT cards use about as much power as a single 6800U. Yup, the OCZ ModStream 520W should be more than enough power than you will need.

are all eps12v (24 pin) server psus compatible with the new pcie 24 pin mobo's? none of the psus (antec true 550 eps12v) that i want, directly say that they are amd compatible and it's not something that i want to take the chance on.

As far as I know, EPS12V power supplies will work with regular 24pin motherboards. Silverstone had a demo 775 system with their ST52F power supply installed at a tradeshow. Here is a link of it in the last pic on this page:
