actually no. a 430W with a strong 12V rail is ok. one reviewer ran such a setup with no issues, and firingsquad stated their confidence in using 430W supplies with a strong 12V rail (http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforc e_6800_ultra/page6.asp). a 480W power supply is recommended by nvidia by way of their guidelines; it's not a requirement.
This is the same host that Anandtech uses. While this is just for my dorky personal site (http://www.richardwurzer.com), I am very satisfied: I get 100mb and screaming bandwidth (almost always >300k/sec, sometimes faster). The staff is responsive (I usually deal directly with the CEO). Shared hosting is on "Dual AMD Athlon 1600 MP machine with 2GB of RAM or more. Each shared server is also utilizing dual ATA/100 7200RPM storage with Raid1 for fault-tolerance."
They also recently implemented logging using Analog 5.22 and Report Magic.
