and note number 8. ARE MULTIPLE 12-VOLT RAILS BETTER THAN A SINGLE 12-VOLT RAIL?

I thought more rails was good until I read that, then read reviews and forums and came away with the feeling that Single Rail PSU's are better! But, you buy what you want, I'm only pointing out Mulit-Rail PSU's aren't all they are cracked up to be!
Very interesting reading. It appears that the only advantage of several rails is less dammage if something is wrong and less noise in the supply. However because I have bought a 1000w supply with a total of 112amps on four rails I will probably only use just over half with everything running. So it should run nice and cool and quiet!
