OvErHeAtInG--
If you think about it, most PC's would be fine with 300-350W. The only problem with that is most PSU's rated that low don't supply adequate 12V juice for SLI or X1900.

That argument has been around for a few years now and it has no bearing on anything.
Does it really?
Think about it...
You just blew away your own argument...The only problem with that is most PSU's rated that low don't supply adequate 12V juice for SLI or X1900.

Let me play devils advocate here----
If the above was true in any sense of the word - why doesn`t some manufacturer make a 300 or 350 watt PSU with adequate amps on the 12 volt rail?
Please don`t use the argument -- its all about money!
Iether they can or they can`t?
Simple question- I think.
