I may have told the story about my experience setting up my ECS KN1 Extreme SLI motherboard with a pair of 6800GT video cards in it before but for those that haven't heard it is worth telling again. Since I was building this system from the ground up I wanted everything to be pretty much to my liking that included a pair of Hitachi 500 GB SATA 150 hard drives a Swiftech Extreme Water Cooling kit, and for the time being the two 6600GT video cards until I found out if SLI was all it was cracked up to be.

Having reviewed a number of quality power supplies over the course of the last 8 or 9 months I though it would be a snap to just pop one of them in and fire it up and be on my to benchmarking the system to see how well it performed. Boy was I wrong! The first power supply I installed would start the system for about 3 second before it would shut immediately off. (names have been left-out to protect the under-powered) So I removed that power supply and tried another, this time things started out better but didn't last long, once I began to do anything that stressed the system it would either freeze or re-boot. So this got me to thinking I had 7 power supplies why not try them all.
