And now we'll begin to have democrats fighting for the equal treatment of power supplies! And then, we'll have PETPSU (People for the Ethical Treatment of Power Supply Units), who'll take pictures of computers without any PSU in them whatsoever, with captions such as "Rather go without power than harm a PSU."


The world is doomed! DOOMED I SAY! DOOOOMED!




AND I BLAME ZE FRENCH!

OMG.... ...this thread has turned into quite something interesting.

man what does a guy have to do to get on somebodies sig? Do I have to lobby like Ralph Nader? I mean GEEZ.

on a different note, I wouldnt be surprised if Bid Red is buying 8 1100watt P/S units for his rigs.... that kid always has the filthiest stuff laying around...

you think this thread is interesting u should see this one

darn it was deleted or im just blind.

Well, I do have to agree that threads shouldn't turn out into political fights like this. Man...my monster energy starting to take a down slope...im gonna go and stand on my bed in my underwear 'till I pass out.

Good night everybody

haha.. geesh.. even if you had a SLI setup, with a 10 hd raid.. you still would not need all that power lol

Yea, but what about the PETPSU? Huh?

POWER SUPPLIES HAVE FEELINGS TOO, YOU MEAN EVIL PEOPLE!

good power supply, good dog, you want uh a, what do you give a power supply as a treat, UPS or power conditioner?

so wait KB does this mean itll be able to power my duron and onboard grpahics and my 20 GB HD???????????????????????????

JK

oooo...wow...I woke up still standing on my bed in my underwear...thats balance right there...anyways...Im leaving for school now, but I have 3 periods that I use for OCC...work? please, I can do work later... me NEED occ!!!

See you all in the forums!

Im pretty sure if you have a Fx-57, 7800Gts in Sli, high end sound card, 15 SCSI or SATA HD in raid, 6-8 DVD Burners, muiltiple PCI expansion cards for Video editing and other gadets, 10-15 Case fans maybe vantec tornados, and alot of UV lights and other mods that use electricity, and maybe even water cooling, then this PSU would be ok, maybe youd have 400 watts or so unused, but you get my point its possible to need this for a PC, if you have alot of money.

now why ud have 6-8 DVD burners I don't know duh Ill play dumb.
youd also need a mamoth Full tower case for this, if not build one.


(waits for reply from KB)

There quite a couple of cases out there that can fit 6-8 DVD/cd or whatever players/burner....

ya but what about the 15 SCSI drives?

A very large Power Supply indeed. This bad boy is geared towards users with near server class parts. However, MultiProc Servers usually use Redunadant Minirack Powersupples in pairs of 2. As they balance the load amongst the 2, and if one fails, the other takes on the full load until a replacement is hot-swapped. Even with the high reliability of a PC Power unit, go with redundants on a server.
As for this 1 KiloWatt PS, it's a bit different than the 850 SLI. The 1 KW has 3 x 12 volt rails of 2 x being in the split of the 3rd rail. The 850 SLI has 4 x 12 volt rails.
Normally, the more power your powersupply has to offer, the cooler components will be as they won't have to compete for power. But once you get into the +600 watt level, it's like an amplifier, you actually have to use a certain percentage of the power or risk fluctuating voltage. For example, an 850 SLI from PCPower must have atleast a constant 300Watt draw on it to run properely.
This 1 kw unit will require more.
So if you have a power hungry CPU, lots of memory, +10 Hard Drives (atleast 200GB each), and a +6800 or 7800 or two, and several case fans; then yes, you can consider this PS.
But for an average system, I wouldn't recommend it. Try the PC Power 510 SLI if you want a PC Power one. The Antec TrueControl II 550 are pretty good, or an OCZ, or Enermax EG565P for Enermax Fans.

Better late then never ehh?
