The watt printed on the package does not say anything about the quality of the PSU or its maximum 'combined' output. So if you tell him to buy a 400W PSU is like telling someone to buy a '2000ccm (2 Liter) car'. There are lots of cars with 2liter engines. And a lot of them are crap ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
