?? OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have an idea what I think I should be buying to run these cards, but I just want to see what you guys think and whether it's in line with what I'm thinking.
One specific question I have is: Would a 1000W PSU be ok to run these? I know they can run around 200w each at load so figure with not much else running (other than the MB/RAM/CPU)

you'll wanna grab a 1200watt at least, when they advertise 1000watt, they are talking about a peak load that your psu will not run stabely at. You want a nice buffer to make sure small power spikes dont knock your rig offline and that your PSU is running within its optimal work range.
besides, your really killing your oppurtunities to overclock the cards and get the most bang for your buck!
"Blue Screen" is a Kernal Panic, which for BTC almost always means your GPU drivers have failed and the only recovery option avialable was for the computer to dump all its memory and start from scratch (basically).
What are you running the card clock rates at?

Could also be an issue with chipset over heating!!! 
can you post your motherboard model?
I had this issue as well and thought it to be bunky PSU at first...(I was in the setup stage for this rig trying out 2x7950 on an 850 watt PSU) I tried at least 30 different configurations with PSU/GPU/Motherboard combo's until I actually took a good look at the board and found that two of my 7950's were sitting right above the motherboard chipset.
Plain and simple there is inefficient heat dissipation for chipset heatsinks on a lot of motherboards, whenever my miner shutdown randomly and unexpectedly, I checked the heat on this (and burned my hand quite a few times!!)
My conclusion on random insta-shutdowns is it typically boils down to 3 things
-Kernal Panic due to driver failures
-Insuffiecient Power Draw from PSU to the motherboard when Cards are running 100%
-Component overheating/damage (chipset or in rare cases CPU)
Hopefully this helps!!!

dont mine on a mac/nvidia setup because its useless for generating bitcoins?
That was helpful.
it was, he will waste his time mining on a mac, and probably overheat the crap out of his 2grand brick
