850 watt for 4 7950, which you are probably overclocking and overvolting, I'm not surprised it blew up. That's easily 1200 watts DC.
I have 4 rosewill lightning 1300, 2 of which I run close to or at 100% capacity with 6 x 7970 undervolted and overclocked (bitcoin, not litecoin). They hum along without breaking a sweat.
There seems to be a lot of hype about the lepa 1600W, but I am not a fan of multi rail. I absolutely hate load balancing.

Hey guys. My first rig attempt was running fine until the PSU blew out. I am running 4 Sapphires 7950's 4L with a sata HD. I had a 850 watt PSU. It ran for three days until it blew out. Please advise so I can pony up the money for a decent one.
I saw this one:
COUGAR COUGAR-GX1050 1050W ($151.99)

and this one:
Rosewill LIGHTNING-1300 1300W ($219.99)

Or is there one for a decent price that you suggest? Thanks ahead for any advice.
