Oh yeah!

18Amps for the 12volt line is plenty... Just don't go all sli and add 4 harddrives to your system

I think its fine, would I buy that? no. If I already had it will I replace it? no, unless I have problems.

Work with what you got I say, screw the man!

i too had the 400w psu that came with my icute 302 case, it was alright but i did a cheap upgrade to a thermaltake 420w and i think it was worth it. Runs quiter too. My BFG 6800 GS is coming tomorrow and it's like freakin' Christmas all over!
Quick question, anyone know if the BFG comes with 16 pipes enabled? Heard a rumor....

As I understand it a 6800GS only has 12 pipelines, there are no additional 4 to unlock. Just OC the heck out of it they seem to be very conducive to OCing.

If it is the AGP version, there are 4 pipes to unlock. Just not a perfect success rate. Does it come with 16 already enabled? I doubt it.

Actually, I've heard that several people have called BFG and they confirmed their AGP 6800GS comes with 16 pipelines out of the box. Only way to be sure is to call them yourself.
