I've got a lazy dummy question, because Im both.

I'm currently running a Xion Supernova 600w Power supply. 600watt

Does anyone have experience with swapping out to another Xion supernova, but a 800w so I can run SLi cards. 800watt

They look alike, and with as many fans, lights, and zipties I have in my case making everything fit perfect and look good, I don't want to go through the mess of totally redoing everything. If the actual powersupplies will just swap out that would be killer. Anyone know if they will?

And please don't say things like "You should get "Blank" power supply, its so much better" I'm very happy with my Xion, and don't plan on changing brands, I just need a lil more power is all. Thanks

Chances are you may have to re-wire a few things but not all. It really depends on how much was changed on the power supply.

In any case sames you don't want our opinions outside of your question I'm not going to offer them.

Thanks. I decided to just bump up from a 8800GTS 320MB to a 9800GT 512MB. Should be enough extra oomph to make me happy for a while then I'll consider running SLi and bumping the PS up in the future.

Only game coming in the near future I'm looking at is COD5, and my rig should be plenty for that anyhow.
