what is a good Power Supply for 4 way SLI

OK the gtx 285 classified has 3, 6-pin connectors per card and I planned on using 4 of these cards that means I need 12 of the 6 pin connectors : 3 per card and I just decided to change my build to an evga classified E762 and 4 Way SLI, but is their even a power supply that suports 4 way SLI? do you even need three 6 pin power connecter per card I know its three if you over clocking but holy crap 12, 6-pin connectors is crazy, I am asuming around the 1200W range, also I am fully aware of the XL-ATX motherboard size and the 10 slots to run 4 way SLI, I plan on useing a Thermaletake VI Xaser "black case" this thing is a beast.


Question:

What power supply will be able to handle 4 wa SLI????

Do I have to use all 3, 6-pin connectors at all time????

If your going to do Quad-SLI with classified cards your probably going to have to look at getting a case that supports dual PSUs and throwing in dual 900w+ PSUs from Corsair, SilverStone, SeaSonic or PC P&C.

What we usually do is add GPU +12V Booster PSU's as required, these supply only +12V & fit in 5.25' bays.

FSP, TT & probably a few others offer these for under $100.
