I haven't seen something that scary since watching a dodgy old black & white film with much shouting of "It's aaaliiiive!" in it!  |

I hope that's a piece of manufacturing "because they can" and not because we need it.
I would never run a PC that consumed 2kW of power. |

Yeah, but the company Ultra are releasing a 2kw PSU that is around the same size as PC P&C's monster unit - i.e. it's INTERNAL. I mean an internal 2kw supply will have limited sales, but an external one will have virtually none.

idiotic. it only encourages higher consumption in components *glares at nvidia and ati*
PSU companies need to put brakes on and go 'whoa... 850W no more, take it or leave it' sadly, its all about the marketing. take a leaf from Intel, listening to PR got them nowhere with the P4... |
