...well, actually its 1000W, but none-the-less im sure that Fragapalooza will have fun with these next years.



QuoteThe power supply gurus at Enermax offer today's installment in the "Why would you need this much" department, the Galaxy series power supply, set to debut later this year offering a startling 1000 Watts of PC power.

...im running a 550W supply, more then enough juice, and probably overkill (but expandable).

Maybe its for the day some nut figures out how to put four video cards in one board in SLI or Crossfire mode?

QuoteTo put this much power into perspective, a single 7800GTX, the fastest consumer card on the market, draws around 285 Watts of power under full load conditions.

...so 2 of these is 570 Watts, add in a RAID 5, and a Athlon duel core and you are probably approaching the area of 1000W
