You do NOT need that psu...that psu will power three of those systems and still not break a sweat...its uber overkill.

The max you'll ever need with that rig is this psu: http://www.directron.com/sstst75zf.html ... which can handle 900W continous and is the one Shamino uses for his Ln2 conroe runs. However, if you still want something uber, check this behemoth out: http://www.directron.com/ega850ewl.html ... you don't want to know what/how much that can power...seriously.

Plextor PX-760SA 18x18 Dual Layer Serial ATA DVD±RW
Plextor PX-755A 16x16 Dual Layer DVD±RW ReWriter
Tagan TG1100-U95 1100W ATX2.01 Turbojet Quad SLi Silent PSU

I don't really think you need 2 DVD-Rs .. but thats up to you. I would for sure change the PS out for say a Seasonic 600W or M2 650W. 1100Ws is for like Quad SLI or server .. which you don't have ... otherwise looks good.
