Also of note... A 1500watt PSU would only draw 1500watts if you computer pulled that much load. If for example your rig only pulled 400watts then the PSU would only supply 400watts, maybe a tad more depending on effency of the PSU.

All that 1500watts rating means is it CAN supply up to 1500watts.

I think the highest draw I have seen so far was when I tested the first version of the Never Extreme Enough rig. QX9770, EVGA 790i Ultra, Quad SLI 2x 9800gx2's and the big SSD raid and it was something like 800ish watts.

If you actually build a rig that needs 1500watts of power then you have other problems to worry about, like your power bill at the end of the month LOL. Like what the MonstaCade would cost me to run 24/7 HAHA.
dude if you start running the monstacade 24/7 im having you commited
