I would prefer the Corsair HX1000 over that Tagan crap.

Tagan isnt crap...It has over 80% efficiency and its got the cool modular connectors which light up (although this is a minor reason..looks cool though
)

TheITwares has the EVGA listed for 26.5k, how come you got it for 22.5k ?

Bargain karo...26k was way too much for a 300$ mobo...I got it at 22.5 too.

Overclocking results on the i7-920 +eVGA x58 sli:
After 1hr of tweaking I was able to get my i7-920 to 3.8Ghz stable 1.2Hrs in prime..I had to stop there because Im running stock cooling and temps were touching 89C..Im sure it was stable...4 ghz was tougher to hit but after a few hours of tweaking and thanx largly to evga ELEET motherboard OC tool I was able to get it to 4.0Ghz at 1.35v...I also gave Vtt to 1.3v o im pretty sure it would have been stable if i had my TRUE ready...
