i can tell you now corin, i have 8hdd's 2 optical drives 12gb ddr3 and 3 gpu's, AND an overclocked cpu(3.6-3.8ghz, and occasionally 4ghz), and i use no more than 700w furmark/bitcoin/gaming. idle is 260w.

i dont get why people think they need a massive power supplies when the hardware doesn't need it. maybe when i throw waterblocks on my two 5870's and overclock them i'll need more than 850w, but stock clocks, i dont.
Would you say an online powercalculator like this one would give the most accurate power-consumption of a build, opposed to the amount given on the site of the GPU?

My PC:

You were both saying?

Also this PC is a singlecore w/ an 8500 and 2.5GB RAM, js.

Lolno, it's inaccurate as poot. It can give you a rough estimate, but nothing you can really use as compared to the amount stated by the manufacturers.

Might as well while we're at it, no ? I'm running a 500W OCZ PSU here, entirely stable.

I would give you a real reading from a wattmeter, but I have yet to borrow such a thing.

He's doing it right though, using the Wiis as nothing more than a bookend.

Please tell me you actually set everything up like that 'just' for the picture... because if you seriously have your keyboard/mouse set-up like that, just wow and in before various joint pains in the future.

Pretty cute amount of plushies though, I'll give you that.

I have one for running my games through HDD and the other is a legit one I got from Japan to play legit games through legit disks lol.
The main reason I got it was because I thought the other Wii was broken (turns out that it was my router causing a weird problem because it does the same thing on my new Wii) so now I have two. I mainly play Mario Kart Wii on the Japanese Wii and Monster Hunter on my HDD Wii

Edit: You guys should play MH3 with me some time ^^

Finally upgraded from a 2008 Macbook to something that can actually play games. Yay for playing TF2 at more than 800x600 resolution at >20fps!

SPOILER

Don't have speakers yet, but seeing as I pretty much always use my headphones and I have an iPod dock, I'll probably just end up getting something cheap at a thrift store.

I was contemplating getting an Air, mostly because the current Viao I take to work is really heavy.
But since I could get a Mini with discrete graphics for the same price, I went with that, so I still need to carry the Vaio around.
