Yes, they have 1100W supplies, but im not using a squillion NIC cards and a kazillion Drives, so power consumption is way under 1000W, and like i said, im drawing no more than 800w if i abuse the power scheme.
I only have 2x high capacity 2.5 drives running RAID 0 and the HD5670 which draws 70w max. Plus the RAM is the newer 1.35V lower power RAM.
Have to admit, sounds like a jet taking off when you first cold boot it, but drops down to near nothing once running. The cooling is amazing.
Its actually quieter than my old computer system, and i need to lower the sound from my TV to listen to the fans.
