makes sense - i keep forgetting about the whole 12v thing with pelts. i'm running more crap than i would in a pelted system quite happily on a 400w. and if the psu can't handle what it's rated for, the mfr needs a good back-handed bitchslap

pelts sound like so much fun. i bet i could really run the crap out of my vid card with a pelt and a voltmod... no need for upgrades with that
