That is amazing Halloween.  How many PSUs you need for that?  Great job.

Hallowen are you prepared for the event of the 1600W PSU not having enough juice for all 4 cards? It does seem possible to me @ approx. 400W per card of available power. Curious because I saw over on KPC a while back that TiN tested the 580's and found they can draw ~850W per card peak usage. Could be worth looking at putting one of the cards on the 1200 TT PSU instead.

It has a Rosewill Hercules 1600W Strictly for the Four KPE's and a Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W for the ASUS RIV BE Motherboard and 4930K CPU.

I Have All Three 8-Pin and Three 6-Pin Not being Used on the Thermaltake 1200W, So if I Need More Power for the KPE's, I can put One on that PSU.
 
Of Course if Push comes to Shove, I can Always Buy a Second Rosewill Hercules 1600W!
 
EDIT:
Come to Think of it, I WAS Having some Problems when I First Started Running the KPE's in 4-Way SLI because I Noticed that while I was running Vantage Benchmarks, My FPS all of a sudden was being Limited to 320 when I was Pushing the CPU and VC's.
It is VERY Possible that the KPE's are "Throttling" due to Not Enough Power!

It's Going to Be awhile before I can do any More Testing Since I have to Re-Load a Fresh Copy of Windows 7 X64.
 
I'll get back when it gets completed and I Finish the System Installation.
 
EDIT:
I ALSO have to Look for a SECOND Rosewill Hercules 1600W!

Once I get my bench disk all perfect, I back up an image of the disk, so I never have to re-install windows.  I use the free version of macrium.  Use an e-sata cable to an external drive takes less than 3 minutes to back up or restore the image.  Even my larger drives that are over 200 gb full only take 16 mins to fully image.
