Why does it have a 650W PSU? I would assume the components are quite light on the power consumption.

To be clear: that is an amazing project and I don't want to take anything away from it, just wondering.



Is it a fair heuristic that higher wattage PSUs are higher quality?

Also since the desktop market is pretty much servicing mostly gamers at this point, can you even get a ATX PSU under 500W anymore?


Looks at his pile of spare PSUs I'd probably have stuck an 800W in there just because that's what's sitting unused in the cupboard =D
