There's a 650W Thermaltake on sale at Newegg for $85 ($70 after rebate)
right now.

Typically is to typify.

One illustration of typical people occurs to be most highly right over
the broadest group of names. What would be atypical about not
spending an additional $20 above your limit, on a 750W Corsair, as
opposed to a 500W Antec/earthwatts, for $75, when the Corsair draws
roughly three times more positive indications at the highest possible
ranking?

The fact that Corsair is endorsed by Custom PC Magazine and Antec by
PC World France ought not to be considered typical, but irrelevant
within the matrix.

Nor, necessarily, is an indication of facevalue you advance.

To say, given a possible poll of 2000 reviews to read, Japanese
capacitors will be the deciding factor in your decision: what would
you think might be of influence if you could and then should be
influenced to spend some more money?

And last for less, but not inclusive. Is there a lower limit on what
you would consider not worth spending? And, if that limit arbitrarily
were say, $40, would that amount be worth factoring at a field for a
third additional for some discount off by up to 20% from the highest
best either the Antec for Corsair objectifies?

Inclusive would be the model I believe I'm likely now to be running
(I'd have to open the case to ascertain certifiability), a
Thermaltake. Though highest polled, would you think any less of my
Thermaltake on matrixes, at about 15% off form a lower stated
objective 500W is indicative to you.

Do you know how to identify what two fields typify an arrangement on
NewEgg, I've used to draw a matrix of all possible power supplies most
likely to be encountered?

You should spend less on methamphetamines...

Yes, the information I provided was too high.

Let me correct that, a highest-reviewed power supply I'm running is
$25 while its current rebate lasts.

Happy hunting and don't spend it all at once. . . :)

Have you ever actually measured the power that your PC consumes?

I was ready to play along with the "YOU NEED A 1000 WATT POWER
SUPPLY!!!" people, but apparently that was not the problem here.

The idea that modern systems actually use 500-1000 watts still
sounds rediculous. The makers increase the power output probably
just to keep up with the silly idea that a more power hungry
supply means a faster system and that power requirements are
increasing as systems get REALLY REALLY FAST!!!

Someday, I need to buy or borrow a power measurement device, the
kind that clamp onto the power cord without having to touch any
conductors, then get a real idea of PC power consumption.
