That is actually very nice looking. I like how everything is neatly tie-wrapped and everything. Excellent job Computekinc!!!

Thanks, I kinda rushed on it since march madness is already here. Oh yeah here are the other 2 pics showing the loop I made for testing the video current. ( Yeah I actuall built this thing for a purpose ) 2 x 260 / 216 overclocked and 100% fans take a tad over 10 amps.

You're crazy man, GTX260 quad core SLI on two cheap PSUs, one bad PSU isn't a good PSU, hehe.
Took me a while to figure out why this was in the folding section...:-/

Build that up in layers and you have a really cheap platform for a farm. Now you're putting ideas in my head :p So going my your measurements the two GTX 260's are using around 126W. Is it me or does that seem a bit low? If its not, excellent :clap:

That is the top side draw. I think the max current draw on the PCIE is 7 amps per slot?? I'll have to look it up... But if we add 7 amps x 2 slots + the 10.5 draw from the top we have 24.5 amps give or take. My brother came by late last night and saw it running on the bench and couldn't help but play with it. He found the current drops quite a bit on the 353 WU's compared to the 511 WU's. Guess I should start keeping track of these things now...
