I'm thinking of buying a new comptuer with two 6800 ultra cards, and I was hoping this power supply would be enough:

Dude, that Fotron supply should be more than adequate.
Play it safe and get a Thermaltake supply? Uhh, not me, thanks.
The "current" trend is for more and more 12v, and the Fotron has more 12v than any of the options presented by aznwhatever. The Antec is decent, but doesn't provide quite as much 12v that the Fotron does. With two ultras and a decent CPU to go along with it, get something that provides lots of 12v current. The Fotron should be adequate, and is cheaper than the Antec, but either should suit your needs.

Alright, so I decided on a different case (http://www.xoxide.com/stacker.html) which would allow two power supplys, should I get two 300watt power supplys?

OCZ Powerstream 520W
Rock solid 12v rail and plenty of current. If you are going to be running SLI and spending $1k+ on video cards, why not invest the extra $40 and get a top of the line powersupply.

Now I only need to know if I should go (6800) GT or Ultra
Is the ultra worth the extra $200 each?

Yeah, the Fortron is the better, more powerful PSU listed.

OP, stick with your original choice, or spend more and get the OCZ.
