    CyberPower 425VA UPS $19.99 after $10 easy rebate

    Kill-A-Watts are cool aren't they! Just keep in mind it will draw a lot more when not idle. A few people have posted that their 9800gx2s use about 180 watts at peak. Load up a game and check your power usage then. My guess is that your power will go up to about 300W when running a game.

    Strange video processing question

    I did hope for a more detailed response, but thank you all the same. Actually a link to anything explaining how 2d stuff like excel is processed and displayed compared to actual 3d rendering would be the most helpful.
