hatFor those worried about the bill:
You could have upgraded to a 10KW power supply from your old 300 watt, and if anything it will lower your electric bill due to the power supply being less stressed (more efficent under less stress).
This is not true. There is always a "sweet spot" where the PSU is the most efficient and it is usually around the mid-point somewhere.

People are complaining about the amperage draw of this, but some hair dryers and space heaters draw more.

KreijIt's quite possible that his curcuit is capable of handling the running devices, but cant handle the initial startup current needed. Vacuums are notorious for dimming lights when you start them ;)
Some psu's draw alot when starting up too. I read that some people have had issues with the initial draw of the enermax galaxy psu.. (Im getting one, hope it dont have issues with my house wiring lol).

and damuta could actually use one of theses, he uses pelters elc in his works and he would prob go quad x-fire down the road!

Why on earth would a 1500 watt desktop computer PSU carry quad rails... haven't they learned anything from the enthusiast market?
