Someone needs to come up with a FAQ on how many WATTS particular components in your computer use on average. For example, IDE hard drives use approx 13 WATTS of power each ON AVERAGE. Intel CPUs use up to 70-80 WATTS (not really sure). 10" Neon Light Tubes use @3 WATTS each. See what I'm getting at here?? Hey even a little JavaScript webpage that would allow you to choose which components you are putting into your computer and adding up all the total power and recommending a power supply based on that would be cool. Just an idea for someone who's really bored and has nothing better to do and than research power consumption! hehe
