Default Thermaltake Thoughpower 1500 W Power Supply

Thermaltake Thoughpower 1500 W is probably the most power PC power supply in the world – so powerful that it can't be sold in the USA, as it is over the maximum allowed power for household appliances set by the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) – which is 1,300 W, by the way. Because of that, this model can only be found in Europe. The architecture used is really interesting: this power supply is in fact two completely independent 750 W power supplies inside the same housing. Besides its monstrous power capability – which the manufacturer says can be delivered at 50º C with a peak power of 1,600 W –, Thoughpower 1500 W has a modular cabling system with a total of eight power connectors for video cards and a 140-mm fan. In this article we will completely dissect this monster.

this PSU is certainly a big one. Maybe folding PCs that have 4+ 9800 GX2s will profit from this?

How much computing power can you cram into a single desktop PC? In our research on image reconstruction we often have to perform large-scale scientific computations, which can easily take weeks on a normal PC. To tackle this problem, we have developed a special PC that is capable of performing our computations just as fast as a cluster consisting of hundreds of PCs. Using this superPC, which consists mainly of gaming hardware and costs less than 4000 euro, we can now perform our three-dimensional reconstructions within a few hours: over 100 times as fast.

1500W is overkill though, even for a Quad 9800GX2 setup
no folding being done though :/
