I'll just say Media. Quakecon's BYOC + shared files = drives fill up FAST.

A.K.A. porn, the most transferred type of content at any lan.

 

[Crazyjeeper]

Why download something that is free on the internet?

 

[argatoga]

No idea, but this is what happens from my experience at lans.

 

[Crazyjeeper]

I'm thinking other kinds of media such as TV shows.

Ok, I'm resurrecting this thread, because monday I'm making the order. I have come down to 2 units.

SeaSonic S12 550w

OR

PC Power & Cooling 610w

seasonic is really ... really good. I've only heard good stuff from them.

Not so sure about PC Power on the other hand.

 

[Crazyjeeper]

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the SeaSonic. A friend of mine has a 420watt that runs 10 HDDs (!) an 8800GTS 320, and a Core 2 Duo, on 420 watts

HDDs aren't that power hungry, its the gfx card and cpu (under 100% load) that you have to worry about.

But yeah... Seasonic is pretty much recommended by just about everyone.

impressive little 420w psu
