The 1200W ST1200 from Silverstone provides the power you need for your most intense applications. It can continuously deliver the full 1200W at 80-87% efficiency. Six +12V rails balance your power load with ease. The auto-switching input can handle all common voltages so all you have to do is plug it in.
The power connectors are fully modular, letting you use only the connections you need. There's a handy carry bag for the extra cables; that way you'll have them available when you upgrade. The cables are all sheathed to de-clutter the inside of the case, enhancing airflow.
A 135mm fan on the bottom of the PSU moves extreme amounts of air to keep everything cool. The back panel is a honeycomb mesh broken only by the power plug and an indicator LED for virtually unrestricted airflow. Go ahead; build the system of your dreams, the ST1200 can handle it.
ATX12V and EPS12V CompatibleCompatible with the ATX12V and EPS12V standards, the Silverstone ST1200 provides maximum power stability to drive the latest Intel and AMD processors as well as other components for desktop and server computer systems.
1200W Maximum PowerA maximum power of 1200W delivers safe, reliable output for even the most extreme computer systems.
80 Plus CertifiedThe 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.
Supports Three VGA Card SystemFeaturing two 8/6-pin and four 6-pin PCIe power connectors, the Silverstone ST1200 supports up to three high-end graphics cards for extreme gaming systems.
Efficient CoolingA 135mm ball bearing fan plus hexagon cutouts increases overall airflow in the power supply enclosure and helps remove heat from the chassis simultaneously.
Modular Cable ManagementThe modular cable design allows use of only the cables you need resulting in improved internal airflow and reduced system clutter.

Pros: Best PSU i've got the pleasure of using. I got this so I would have room for future expansion (more GFX cards).
Two 8pins power my cpu for overclocking. Pluse plenty of cables/power to run 3xSLI+phsyx and Quad Sli.
Two sets of the modular 6pin pci cables actcually have2 sets of connectors on them. One a standard 6 pin, then a 6pin +2pin for those who want to Quad Sli(2x Gtx 295/each have 1 8pin and 1 6pin power connectors on them)
Pros: Great PSU, works, well packaged. No complaints about the product that I wasn't aware of before purchasing.
Cons: I submitted all three labels from box with rebate package. I get this curt little snail-mail notice some weeks later stating that I provided "incorrect UPC label." Okay, $25 isn't going to devestate anybody's financial empire, but this is just insult added to injury after submitting a comprehensive rebate package.
Manufacturer Response:
Thank you very much for purchasing a SilverStone. The label you sent in was Newegg's label, not SilverStone's so that is why we cannot process it. Since we process mail in rebates in-house, please contact us directly so we can help you get this sorted out. Our US office contact information is as follows:

Pros: Modular, but thats about all it has going for it.
Cons: It was DOA. It took 4 hours to pinpoint the problem since it was providing power to the motherboard, but apparently not enough. Plugged in my old power supply leaving it to just power the hard drives and it couldn't even get those spinning.
Overall Review: If it worked, it might have been a good power supply.
Pros: Fully Modular, powers my system

I am impressed due to my voltages not dropping below what they should be at like my old tpq 1200w psu
Cons: You need to keep it cool and not obstruct the fans airflow meaning in needs to keep cool air coming in. Ripple on load is not the best but so far no issues since I keep it cool.
Overall Review: Make sure you have a case where the psu is in the bottom so it can get a fresh supply of cool air.

Pros: Detachable cables (cleans up the chassis nicely), 1200W of sustainable power. Does not get overly hot (does not affect chassis ambient temperature). The best power supply ever.
Cons: It uses a proprietary power plug...a much thicker and wider plug interface. Unfortunately, if this plug breaks, you can't just pick up another one from a monitor or an old computer.
Pros: It can take as much as you can throw at it.
Super quite fan
All Modular plugs
supports 3xSLI (im running 3x 9800GTX+'s on it)
Supports 6 SATA Devices (3 per cable) with about 6" of wire between each of the three plugs.
you can power a 6pin+8pin GPU with a single cable
All the wires are long enought to snake through a Full size tower.
Large wire guage used on power cord... it really needs it.
Cons: Raised my power bill $15 a month
Custom power cord, but it needs it for all the amp's it pulls.
Heavy, about 5lbs (make shure your case can support the weight.
Overall Review: My system this beast powers.

Cons: Wouldn't power my whole system, namely the GPUs. I have an older 800w PSU that does the trick just fine, that's the only way I found this one was faulty. Needs more SATA cables(only 6 are included on two bundles, so watch out if you have more than 3 hard drives and a SATA DVD/R). Had to eat the cost for RMA re-stock and shipping.
Overall Review: Would've been great if it worked, RMAd and purchased a different brand.
