Legit Reviews has a handful of really good pictures of Dell's quad NVIDIA SLI XPS (http://www.legitreviews.com/article/285/2/) posted today that are enough to send you into cardiac arrest…right along with your wallet. The pictures you really want to see though are the inline, external 150W power adapters that help the XPS meet the 850W requirement of these SLI set ups.
Each video dual video card is connected to another power supply to feed the cards the power they need to perform their best. We spoke to nVidia about the power consumption of the system and we were surprised, but not shocked when they told us it needs 850 Watts.
