    My understanding was that was why they used the PCI slots...
    Its not a problem, they don't have to be plugged into a pci slot to work, they only need 5v - you can get this by using... some wire and a soldering iron!!!! Theres allready a chap who has 5 in a seperate wooden box he made.

    It's a computer, not a particle accelerator.

    GPUs, maybe 190W each, on the high end.
    CPU, ~60W normal frequency, maybe 90W overclocked
    Water pump, ~100W

    That's 570W, do you really think the rest is going to take over 230W of power?.. and that was me being very generous.
    I wish people would stop blowing power usage all out of proportion.

    Use this to calculate the power.

    http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

    You will be very suprised. Nvidia them selves reccomend a 1000W PSU when using 2 8800GTXs in SLI along with a X6800.

    Plus you have 4 gigs of RAM, the RAID card, the 3 Raptors, the 5 Seagate hard drives, the fans, the sound card and the watercooling setup.

    Oh yes, the infamous PSU calculators that take the real value and add +50% power consumtion... If I were you, I'd take what they say with a pinch of salt.

    The seagates wouldn't go in the computer, that's what the NAS box is for.

    I told a porky - he only has 4 not 5 connected, my mistake. Does show that you don't need to use your pci slots though.
