Request for future PSU reviews

Call me lazy, but I wouldnt mind seeing a 'leak' voltage column in the stats for the PSUs.

I know I just have to subtract the output from the input, but its a lot easier to see when it's all laid out with the other numbers :)

Errr.... Leak voltage?

Do you mean power loss due to energy conversion?

Yea, the energy lost as heat.

Isn't that what efficiency is all about, or is there some other constant I am not (yet ;)) aware of?
