Just how far can you push it? Well, going to the extreme, Antec hooked one up to EVGA's Classified SR-2 motherboard, four GeForce GTX 480 graphics cards in SLI and a pair of overclocked Intel Xeon E5640 processors running at 4GHz apiece

Here's a review for those interested: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=177

Oh BTW that video doesn't work.

It seems odd to list the PSU as 1200W if there's significant headroom on top of that, at least for non-techie "ooo, that generic 1250W PSU must be better that Antec 1200W" population. Although I suppose not all units may produce such decent headroom.

Not surprised. My Antec 650 sg can pull 1000+ watts before shutting down. It seems that Antec PSU's can usually pull more that they're supposed to; it's the other way around with el cheapo PSU, if they are rated for,say, 500 watts, they will shut down (or burn) on a 300 watts load. :)

I'm sure there's a need for 1kw+ PSU but Antec did this (link below) about the need for it ??? I suppose they are filling the market !
