Just curious if anyone knows if its possible to get them running with that, I know a 1200W will work fine.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

not posible maximun demand on the 6990 is 294W per card. and u still need the power for the cpu/ram/mobo you could do it with 2 psus. one 850w for mobo+2gpus and one 650w for the other 2gpus. this way u can save arround 50 bucks.

You do realize he said 6950 not 6990 right? A 6950 requires 158 watts according to this website: http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-6950-6970-review/11Seems possible as long as you get a good power supply.

I have 5x5830's on a 1000w PSU with a Phenom 955 quad core. It has been running stable for a few weeks.

I had 2x6950 and 2x5830 on a 1200w PSU and it was drawing 675w from the wall. It seems like the headroom would be there. You should test it with a killawatt with 2 and then 3 cards before you try 4.

I also have a Corsair TX-850 (ran 4x5830's fine for 2 months) and an Antec 900w extreme gamer or something like that which runs 4x5830 great but when I added the 5th card I had to add a secondary PSU on 2 of the cards to make it stable. Find something with one big 12V rail...makes it much easier to balance the load.

I run 5 5850's which require about the same power. I overclock these cards fairly high and it only requires 1000 watts. If he gets a decent psu there will be no problem fitting four on a 1000 watt.

The PSU in question would probably be either a 1050W Corsair or a 1000W Silverstone Gold/OCZ, it was really more for theory than anything practical, I have a 1200W in my current rig but I am planning to build a new one and was just toying with "what-ifs".
It's nice to know that it is possible though, I appreciate the help.
