Website that calculates PC watts

[Zap Brannigan]

I came across a website that calculated how many watts a PC uses by choosing the hardware in a drop down menue.

I forget which site it was and am wondering if anyone knows of one.

Some of his stuff might not be updated, but it shows the current through each individual rail too so you have a good idea at least if you're PSU is capable or not. I've read that the individual rail ratings are more important than the wattage since cheap PSUs may skimp greatly on the 12V rail, among others. But, I don't really know jack about PSUs so I'm just telling you that's what I read.

I have a 380 watt Antec Silent PSU that came with the Sonata. The tests indicate that upgrading my PSU at the moment is unnecessary.

My 3dMark05 scores of 4700 and change indicate that a new mobo/cpu is in order though.
