The Complete System

This was posted in this thread but no one responded really to the link, so i thought i'd dedicate a post to this BEAST.

How big must the power supply be? Do you use the normal power supplies from the systems? Or did he use the one from the tower? I doubt i'd ever do this but this is probably one of the coolest recent ideas involving computers i've seen. I bet that that gets :hotbounce like NO OTHER! I hope he has a good cooling system. Anyways, :thumbup to that!

i've posted that "beast" a while ago.

for the "beast", i think a 400w power will do.
a normal 300w can handel a computer with 4HD, 1CDrom, 1DVDrom, 1CDwriter and 4PCI cards. the only reason why people want more watt is only for stable.

this guys is a freak, i guess he has no life other than gaming
anyway he did a great job.

Phat, since you are a certified vendor in the builder biz; you need to know & understand these things.

Thank's uncleel for the links, but i wasn't really looking for that specific of an answer Bookmarked that site with the Watts for each component of a computer, that will be incredibly handy when picking a power supply for computers in the future. Btw, i'm sure you know that that isn't the only thing that i still need to know & understand.
