I would suggest 850W minimum.
1000w would be alot safer though.

I should think any SLI bridge would work seeing as the PCI-express slots are part of the ATX 2.0 specifications and as such should be the same distance from each other universal.

I just got a second 9800 GTX, =]
My motherboard came with a SLI bridge, I'd say about 90% of them do.

All boards that support crossfire and SLI should come with the scaler bridge as standard.
The reason being is although there was specifications for board sizes, some brands put a couple of PCI lanes between the PCI-E and some so not so the space between the slots varies.
