400 watts?

[dsbw]

Picked up this board (http://www.uabit.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32&Itemid=48&page=1&model=419), which has a funky power 8-pin power plug (though 4 will work).

The manual recommends using a 400 watt (!) power supply.

Wha--?#-o

Might be because of the hybrid SLI included on this board.looks like a nice board though ;)

I think the highest one that you can get at the moment is 1.500 Watt.

Roghly each Watt will cost 2 US$ each year, if you let your PC run 24/7.

My server only needs 30 Watt, therefore I'm only paying 60 US$ for my hobby each year.
