I know that, but I would like to know who else uses it or might use it.

I thought dicecca112 was talking about the Antec 850W and Antec 1000W PSU's... I wish I could show you pictures of those supplies... They are painted and are worried someone might steal the idea before they ship or something like that...

Antec 850W and 1KW UL #: E176105
FSP 1000W UL #: 190414

I'll post up some more coverage tomorrow and that should wrap up our coverage of CES 2007!

Man I like that new P190 case, more and more you show thats coming down the pipe I'm really rethinking the macro route, I'm thinking that my cube project will become a HTPC case.

To be honest I'm thinking of something like that too...

Have you seen the ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner? It's an external graphics card (basically) that takes a cable card under a plastic cover in the front. When paired with Vista it makes for a killer HDTV part... I used it and it was awesome... The bad news is that ATI doesn't expect it to come out for DIY users and will be paired with Intel VIIV and AMD LIVE! systems... Sucks for us because if I was going to go the HTPC part I wouln't mind the PC running the HDTV content with Vista.

wouldn't work for me, I have a dish. Now if I can get soemthing like that ATI box that will work with my dish that would be cool.

suck part is that in the last 2 weeks or so every time I turn around everything is getting bigger hell most vid cards out now are longer than full ATX boards.

SMALLER folks SMALLER I want 10lbs of stuff in the 2lbs bag, sorry I'll stop the rant now.

thats right, it just makes everything that much more difficult and heavy. BTW thanks for the great pics and stuff the last few days its great new products but who needs >1000watts of psu power?

Upcoming graphic cards will run 300W each... add three of them in a system (daisy chained or the third being for physics) then you have a 900W system with nothing else. Add in Intel's 130-watt Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating for the QX6700 and you have 1030W alone.... Hard drives add say 30W each under load, add in cooling fans, optical drives, USB devices, sound cards and so on and you are well above 1000W believe it or not. Now imagine quad-SLI with these 3000W cards -- all of a sudden you have a 1200W system on the GPU's only -- then you can see the need for a 1500W system... I don't like these 2000W power supplies that they are coming out with. I think that someone is going to get hurt or killed if one shorts out and many people are going to have wiring issues in their homes. To be honest i really like the Antec P190 case that I showed in this article... For $499 it's water cooler ready, offers 1200W, and uses 'standard' sized PSU's to where someone can replace them with bigger if needed. They run on two plugs (like the 2KW OCZ HyperXSream) so it is possible to plug them into different series (2 15Amp breakers), but who the hell is going to run extension cords to different rooms in their home just to run a PC? Okay maybe I would, but thank God I have 20A wiring where I plan on having the test bench.

Sweet, I'll take a look into those.

For the Antec's I'm getting conflicting reports. Some say its made by Antec, others say Seasonic. It could be Seasonic made it, and Antec bought the UL number just to get there name on it

UL for the switching adapter
