I saw this on a thread the other day and it spured me to go get one to see what my system was pulling. Here's a list of whats being powered off my psu: 10 fans, 2x570, 1cd drive, 1mb, 1cpu, 1water pump, 6ram sticks, 2hdd, 1ssd, 1usb mouse, 1usb keyboard, 1usb gaming controler. all of which were plugged in during this test.

Wattage meters a very useful in knowing how much your system is actually pulling.
Nice work!

Thanks I have mostly the same hardware, I was wondering where did you put 10 fans I have the same case and I have 7. 2 for the Cosair H50 push pull,1 under the hard drive cage,1 one the floor of the case,1 rear,1 at the top, and one behind the video cards.
How do you like the Cosmos 1000 case?

The cost feature is fun and scary, at least now I know why my power bill is so much lower when I'm gone on vacation for a couple weeks.

You have to put in the price per KW, hold down the middle button for 5 seconds, then use the left and right buttons to change the price up or down.

I got mine yesterday and hit $29 per month while gaming. It does an average and I turn my computer off while at work, so now it's down to $19 per month.

I feel the same way when I purchased this the 800d had just been release and it was around $320 and this was just as big for $179. It works good for everything I have in it. Thanks for the response.
