Initially the system had a 350W powersupply. Inspired by mailing-list comments that that was way too little, I bought a new (and very quiet) 850W supply. Later I went and measured actual consumption, which barely exceeded 230W. (excluding e.g. startup surges which I couldn't measure). I think the 350W would probably have been perfectly adequate, but now it's running with 850W. /Per Jessen, Zürich _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
