[Alan Grimes <ALONZOTG@verizon.net>]

The PSU is an Antec EarthWatts 750.

Biggest hoggs outside the motherboard are the, um, er, well [nvidia 980
gpu] and an aging Western Digital Velociraptor boot drive. There is also
a 3TB drive for all my p***, er kerbals   ( Kerbal Space Program ) .
There is one optical drive and four chassis fans in the system. All fans
are operating perfectly.

As far as I know the operating conditions for the PSU are nearly ideal....

I did have some noise issues with it a few years ago but it seemed to
settle down and hasn't really given me any grief since.
