lol you don't have to tell me that. My actual reasoning was: Slay's not a guy putting in a 1000w psu if 500w or so is enough (unless it's a leftover and you don't want to buy a new one). So I concluded it is a quite power hungry pc.

BTW, interesting to see how small the performance difference between XP and Seven is so small.
