Galaxy PSU, no MOV, enough to pass on it?

    I am planning building a very high end systems with Intel Quad CPU, 8800GTX, 4GB ram, etc.

    I did a lot of research and I was happy with the Galaxy until I read :
    Enermax Galaxy 1000 W Power Supply | Hardware Secrets
    How significant is this MOV? Is it too risky to use a PSU without it on such high end system?

    Can I just get a surge protector or something?

    Is this enough not to get this PSU? Should spend a little more and get the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool?

    I know, LOTS of questions but please answer any of them.

    It's a surge supressor, basically. If you have a surge protector (which is always recommended) then it's not an issue.
