    Where I'm now
    Dude,a real 225W PSU can hold a E7200 with a G31 offering with a mid range VGA+ 1 HDD + 1 ODD.No probs.A 300W will do a 9600GT no probs.But it will work on full load when you have full load.Its the people who have VGAs with PEG connectors should be aware of PSU wattages.Normal guys just have to find a decent low wattage PSUs.

    Um... last time I measured the power consumption (pretty much the peak) it posted a whopping 370W (with the monitor). Leave 30W for the monitor, and it's 340W!! Could be my aging PSU *sigh* Anyone volunteering to check their 85+ PSU on mine? :D

    I love PCs. Hell I'd marry a i7 965 if I could.

    Btw, is it just me, or is Bloodrage the best darn motherboard name ever?

    OMG! It's one thing to love hotties (yes they run hot!), but .. :lol:

    I'm sure "Vampire Xtreme" or "PWNer Ultra" or "W.K.N.F.A.L" (aka We Kill N00bs for a Living) is in their list too :rofl:

    lol. I just love the power of the i7s and how AMD is getting their ass handed to them.

    Haha, Foxconn has some awesome names. My favourites seem to be DFI and Foxconn names. Can't beat the CLASSIC 'DFI Lanparty'. BlackOps sounded gay though, but Bloodrage rocks.

    Btw, where the heck did you find a Galaxy 9600GT in SL?

    Oh yeah, I love Furmark.

    Furmark>3DMark IMO. 3DMark only gives a guy with better hardware bragging rights, Furmark is where its at.

    Besides...its fuzzy. That's a good enough reason for me to choose it over 3DMark.
