I think one of the problems people are experiencing with larger power supplies like the enermax 650 is not the supply but their homes. I know I've got a lot of equipment plugged into the walls of my home that are drawing power. And since it's a 30 year old home with on 15amp breakers I think that's where my main power problem lies. And that 15 amp breaker is spread across 3 rooms. I won't deny the 5volt rail some of the 350 enermaxes have. But I think not enough has been looked into regarding how much load people are placing on their home wiring. I don't think anyone thought someone would be using as much electricity as I do in 1969, the year my house was built.
