I cheated using my APC battery backup w/ Power Chute software. It can tell you your system load. 352 Watts is a little high because I have my LCD hooked up to it. None the less, it still leaves some room for another hard drive ect.

thanx again
one more thing
what does this 2 12V rails means ??? exactly
pleain english would be preffered :roll:


If you take notice you will see that hardly any dual 12v rail PSU's are being produced anymore, its either a really strong single rail or a quad rail.

Dual 12v rail psu's are of the most horrid design ever because most of the time the amperage is not properly distributed across the system as a whole.

Single, Triple or Quad is the way to go.
