BFG Tech has taken a whole new approach to computer power supplies with the EX-1200 power supply.
Most power supplies are inefficient at lower loads, making it difficult to plan for future expansion while maintaining a green initiative. By using Frequency Conversion technology, the EX-1200 power supply can actually emulate virtually any size power supply and therefore be at least 80% efficient, even with loads as low as 10% of the unit's maximum capability.
The EX-1200 has the lowest minimum load requirements and the best +5VSB efficiency on the market. Plus, it uses all Japanese capacitors for longer life and gold-plated pins for improved conductivity.
Pros: -1200 watts of high efficiency power -Silent -Modular* -6x PCIe Connectors (3x6 Pin, 3x 6+2 Pin) -Beautiful finish on product -Lifetime Warranty -Excellent price for the quality of this product
Cons: -No negative attributes
Other Thoughts: Some people may complain that it isn't 'fully' modular, but lets be honest with ourselves here, why does it have to be? I don't know about you guys, but all my motherboards use an ATX cable, all my cpu's use some form of a 4/8pin cable, and all my peripherals use either a molex connector or a SATA cable. And to top it off, if you have a 1200w power supply you BETTER have a GPU that requires a PCIe connector. So anyone complaining that this beast isn't fully modular needs to get down to earth.
There is absolutely no reason you should not buy this PSU. It has well beyond 85% efficiency, runs silent and cool, and has literally everything you'll ever need whether you're a beginner with 1 graphics card, or a die-hard Tri SLI GTX 285 user (like myself ;).)
I can absolutely recommend this Power Supply to any PC building enthusiast.

Pros: Most stable power supply I've seen in ages. Great Efficiency. More modular cables than any other supply ive seen. Absolute dream for a gamer. SLI to hearts content. Only 249.99 at the time of this posting.
Cons: None. Spooked for a moment see below.
Other Thoughts: I run a computer upgrades and repair store so do understand that in my years of working with systems. This is impressive. I was worried for a moment when first powering it on. I heard a crackle and pop noise and thought "great". So i called BFG tech and talked to their techs. He stated with the new frequency switch it makes that noise the first time when powering the unit on. First to get the right frequency from the wall and also its inital pull from the wall is at its standard 1200watt frequency. Which recharges the capacitors rather quickly. In shipping these capacitors discharge and make that noise the first time after being energized. Did a test anyways with a volt meter to make sure the guy was not lying to me. Sure enough all lines are working as their supposed to. BFG Tech, My hats off to you. Best power supply I've encountered along with a LIFETIME warranty.

Pros: Four 40 Amp 12 Volt rails. Six modular outputs. 14 AWG power cord. Off switch.
Cons: There is NO documentation, sheet saying the model number, warranty, how many amps over what volts/rails. Nothing.
How do I know which rails are shared?
IE: Three video cards requiring 49 Amperes each, if I combine two on a shared rail I will only get 40 amps.
Other Thoughts: From what I guess the two rows on the modular plug in are the first and second 12v rails, default PCIe is the third 12v rail, and rest are on the fourth 12v rail.

2 X GTX295's and 1 GTX 250

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This thing is powering 4 X 10K Sas Drives, a High end Mobo, CPU, 4GB of DDR3, 2 DVDRWs, a Swiftech High end Liquid Cooling kit, 2 EVGA Hydro GTX 295's and a PNY GTS 250 (Physx) with no issues. The power supply is very quiet and has a very large fan to keep it cool. I like the modular plugs it comes with to keep the case clutter to a minimum.
Cons: This is not a completely modular power supply. First, it has a 8 pin 4 pin power for your mobo built into the main bundle, 1 is usesless clutter, it also has a cable full of 4 pin power cords which is also useless clutter as my DVDRWs are SATA and my SAS Drives are using SATA power not 4pin... It would be nice if this thing did not include so much in the main bundle as I spend hours making my cables extremely organized to make it look good and keep my airflow working at maximum.
Other Thoughts: I was a little confused at first with the way they did the PCI-E power, Each cable has 1 X 6 + 2 and 1 X 6 and I wasnt positive I could use both cables on a single cord or if I could only use both as 6 pin or 1 as 6+2. The answer is 1 single cord can be used as both a 6+2 and a 6 pin, so one cord can power at GTX 295 which really helps keep things neat and looking good. BFG Tech Support took almost 30 minutes to get someone on the phone. I normally only buy products from people with good tech support, BFG and EVGA both have US based support and are available 24/7, after all if your having issues gaming its most likely not going to be M-F from 9-5.... not if your going to pay for your nice gaming rig right? I wish more people would do this or BFG/EVGA would release more products as they seem to be Video Cards/Mobos/Power....

Pros: Small size for the output, looks great and connections every which way. No weird install issues, warranty period is tough to top. Surprisingly quiet (though certainly not silent).
Cons: Not a major thing, but the cables were just an inch of two shorter than my old modular 680w that was doing interim duty.
Other Thoughts: This should suit my needs excellently, with power to spare for additions over the coming years. Absolutely zero complaints.

Most power supplies are inefficient at lower loads, making it difficult to plan for future expansion while maintaining a green initiative. By using Frequency Conversion technology, the EX-1200 power supply can actually emulate virtually any size power supply and therefore be at least 80% efficient, even with loads as low as 10% of the unit's maximum capability.
The EX-1200 has the lowest minimum load requirements and the best +5VSB efficiency on the market. Plus, it uses all Japanese capacitors for longer life and gold-plated pins for improved conductivity.
Highlights
ATX12V and EPS12V Compatible Compatible with the ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V v2.91 standards, the BFG Tech EX-1200 provides maximum power stability to drive the latest Intel and AMD processors as well as other components for desktop and server computer systems.
1200W Continuous Power A continuous power of 1200W delivers safe, reliable output for even the most extreme computer systems. Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output.
80 Plus Certified The 80 PLUS certified power supply provides high power efficiency of at least 80% at any load between 20% and 100%, saving your money on your electrical bill, reducing heat in your computer's system and prolonging its life.
135mm Cooling Fan with BFG Thermal Control Technology The large 135mm intake fan increases overall airflow in the power supply to ensure operation stability. With BFG thermal control technology, the fan slows down during regular operation to reduce unnecessary noise.
Modular Cable Design The modular cable design allows use of only the cables you need resulting in improved internal airflow and reduced system clutter.
Six PCI Express Connectors The BFG Tech EX-1200 features six PCI Express power connectors (three 6-pin and three 6+2-pin) to support high-end graphics cards for extreme multi-GPU performance.
