    it says mine is 131w but i think due to the xfx reve it only sees one hdd rather than 3 so i would put it at 147 watt

    I agree...it seems to be in the right ball park for some things (my monitor, CPU, and hard drives), but then spouts out 23W for the 7900GTX and 15W for fans, X-Fi etc

    Useful piece of software, although (ironically) it prevented my system from going into Standby - even after uninstalling it. System Restore sorted it out.
