Good. Does the job

Rosewill RTK-001 Premium Anti-Static Wrist Strap
Rosewill RTK-001 Premium Anti-Static Wrist Strap

Pros: You won't fry your expensive components. Also, nice blue color so you can find it easily in a box of cords. The wrist strap looks like it will fit a very small wrist. I have small wrists and it could probably tighten enough to fit a dog's wrists. Scooby, you're in luck!

Cons: The wrist strap looks like it may not be able to fit people with extremely large wrists. The diameter at loosest setting is about 2 3/4" to 3". Don't know how big some of you big fellows' wrists are but it just looks like it may be too small for big people. Star taken off because of the strap closing mechanism. It works but is not my fave. Could be 5 star worthy though, plenty good for its purpose.

Overall Review: Don't plug your power supply in and connect yourself to your computer with this and start connecting things like one person said in a review. This will not protect you from getting zapped and will likely make any zap worse. This is meant to connect to a ground or to your case while working in a unplugged case to prevent static electricity from building up under the movement of your clothing, shoes, etc and frying your electronics. If you don't know what you are doing or are not sure, ask someone who does so you don't end up with a Darwin award.

SilverStone OP1000-E 1000 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
SilverStone OP1000-E 1000 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

Pros: This seems like it should be a good power supply. You can run 3 X SLI with it However, ....

Cons: Not modular. But you should already know this. Also, mine died so I can only run one GTX260 instead of two at the moment :( mine died shortly after booting. It did arrive on a rainy day, and the box I got was dampish (thanks UPS) so this may have caused problems. Also, they are somewhat fragile when being thrown around in a truck and this particular driver (not the usual one) didn't seem too graceful or careful so I will update when I get my RMA as to weather or not this was a fluke.

Overall Review: I thought this would be a physically big power supply because of the wattage but it seems to be pretty standard size. Same as the 850 watt I replaced it with temporarily.

Very Niiice!

CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000 W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000 W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

Pros: Can run 3xSLI with this! The cables are modular! The brand has a good reputation! Got it to replace a Silverstone that died after booting for short time. This one hasn't died yet! 1 kilowatt! What more could you want? Really, the price is worth it. I didn't really save anything by going with Silverstone. It died, and I spent s little extra on one that hasn't... what a hassle RMAing when I just want my comp to work. Should have gone with this one originally.

Cons: None. Plenty of juice on single 12v for my gtx260 SLI.
