I am looking for a PSU for my new rig and found that Silverstone Zeus 650W PSU.
I live in France and can't buy the PCP&C so I'm looking for a PSU that would be strong enough for a SLI system when I add a second 6800GT in the future.
What do you think about the Silverstone Zeus? I was also thinking about the OCZ Powerstream 520W, the Enermax Noisetaker 600W or the Antec True Power 2 550W.
Here is a link to a matchup between the PCP&C and the Silverstone Zeus:

Get either PowerStream. You'll love it. My only complaint is that the stock fans are
green (ew) and very low RPM. I replaced mine with blue CoolerMaster 80MM rifles. :)

So, would you recommend the SilverStone over the other PSUs ?

well in Australia
650W Silverstone PCI-E SLI PSU = AUD$214-235
600W OCZ Powerstream PSU = AUD$339-355
520W OCZ Powerstream PSU = AUD$214-240
580W Topower 686P6 35A/12v PSU = AUD$224-235
if SLI with 6800GT/6800U is planned then yes 650W Silverstone for me is best available in OZ

By the way, how noisy is the Silverstone Zeus? I guess it's far from silent with the only 80mm fan it has.

Have you heard a PCP&C 510 SLI? I'd love to hear from someone that has experience with both of these units. I'm leaning towards the PCP&C, but sound level is a factor.

Looks good to me then! But how about the temps? Does it get really warm?

For a 650 watt PSU, its very quiet. Yes, i own a PPC&C 510 SLI and it sounds like a jet. The zeus is tolerable by a big margin.
The PSU stays pretty cool, however, im using a Lian Li V2000, so the PSU is completely isolated with 2 80mm fans below it blowing out.
