Electricity is cheap here. But at least right now my SLI setup requires a 750w PSU (with the system). The overclocked CPU uses maybe 100w more. The remaining stuff; 4 fans, SSD and 5 HDD's use a little of the remaining of the 1000w. Maybe a 850w PSU was a better choice? But anyway, the reason I got this one is to keep it for ages to come and to run anything I throw at.
It's weird tho. Let's say only 500w is being used, where does the remaining (minus the efficiency loss) go if the PSU pulls the complete 1000w it's rated for out of the wall? I know energy is never lost but changes from one form to another. Running the fan and producing heat maybe? The fan is small and quiet to draw that much and so little is the heat.
