Well, that mobo isn't the most power friendly mobo there is, I'd say. at least 6 phases it looks like, LEDs both left and right, lots of gadgets and extra gizmos. I've not found any review of that mobo, but here is a review of another 680i SLI mobo with a not so different setup (7900GT 25w idle, bu...

I broke my initial mounts, so Scythe send me a new pair. The only problem with these mounts is that I doubt many stores will offer them. I wish Scythe had a store of their own for this.

Just a quick note: phpBB3 has been out for a while. Perhaps it is time to upgrade?

Ah, mine has some other things though that are nifty. It measures -how long it has been plugged in -how many kwh has been measued since it has been plugged in -how much much the kwh will cost -voltage -watt (max) -amp -amp (max) I put BOINC on full when I was playing COD4. I reached a maximum 318W -...

P3 cons:
-I'll still want to get a new quiet PSU, heatsink and fans to make it more efficient / quiet

Not such a con if you can order it used. Try finding something in your own state on eBay.

I have been meaning to get one of those. The only problem is that they can't measure anything under 5W, which is half the reason I want one. I want to mesure dark energy - used for standby (red lights). At least the ones sold in my local hardware store.

Perhaps in a Dell server or their computers. I know I read in one of my news sources that dell had made a server with 90% efficiency. I don't think Dell would be interested in lending them out for testing since they are OEM.

It is more than just the energy made. I shan't say I am not wrong here, but computers also account for a lot of waste in the production process. I think I heard on the radio an UN report said one desktop computer accounted for 1 tonne of waste. Yet I heard another saying 500kg. Either way, if you wa...

Why not go for Corsair HX620W. http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=327672 or get Seasonic M12 700W which is even cheaper then Corsair i mentioned above, and it will have spare 300W if you don't like running PSU near it's max output. http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=323037 I'm not trying to be ...

I was not planning on buying any components like that right now. Frankly I cannot afford it.

But for the future I will probably use a 2,5" SSD drive while keeping my storage in a NAS in the basement.

Yes, I have a crush on the M12D-850W but it is not for sale in Norway.

I have a Lian Li case (which is noisy enough BTW). Here I have a 120mm fan blowing at my PCI-exensions, and my power supply is mounted so that it will get fresh air from the top of the case in an opening. Currently I have a 500W from Mist, which is supposed to be a good quality PSU. You are absolute...

I have ordered a 9800GX2 to run Folding@home as well as a quadcore. This would add up a constant 500W load for the GPU and CPU alone. I am also going to sleep in this room. I've looked a bit on reviews, but I still can't decide. I mean the Seasonic M12D 850 W was great but it is not for sale in Norw...
