I have an old friend I talk to on MSN who is big into gaming and overclocking and I was asking him about PSUs: He's just built a new system, an overclocked Q6600 with 3 500gb SATA on a highpoint RAID controller and 2 SLi 8800GTX!!! - And I know you might think he's bull****ting, but he's a guy I did computers with at college 5 years ago, and now is a plumber, so earns **** loads of money, and wastes tons of it on his PC. But even he only has a 700W FSP Epsilon - So what kind of system needs a PSU that's more powerful than that?!?!?!? - It surely must only be server systems?
It seems a huge PSU just something for an enthusiast to waste money on so he can say "my PSU is bigger than your PSU"? It seems to me like computer enthusiasts becomming more like Boy Racers who waste money on things to improove performance faster than the car will ever be driven!
Or am I missing something?
