2900 Pro Cross-Fire

Thoughts on how much power it might require?
I was thinking this http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16817171023

700W up. ATI are power suckers. Two of them doesn't make them better.

Says a 750w PSU with at least a 60 amp current through the +12v rails.

2900Pro is downclocked 2900XT so it should use a bit less power?

Doesn't show the amp requirement, but seeing as the wattage remains the same, inference suggests amperage will remain the same as well.

Nzxt is a popular case manufacture, I dunno if they make good power supplies though. You could always check Ceewi1's PSU Recommendations,

They don't always have the best deals, but given his knowledge on PSU's you can rest assured they are all great quality.
