1200W should be good for quad cpu, 5ghz cpu and a lot of drives, especially a pc power and cooling.
I can handle the house hold electrical issue being a master electrician. I was just curios if it would make a difference on taking some stress off the PSU. The system I would use it on is Classified with the 975 in the 4.8 to 5 Ghz range 2 x 4870x2 OC'd and 4 seagate 120GB drives plus fans. I suppose I could calculate the load to see how close to maxing the PSU out I am.
