In this episode of NCIX Tech Tips, Linus will take a look at how much money you could have saved from your energy bills by switching to an OCZ Z-Series 850W 80 Plus Gold certified power supply from a older non 80 Plus certified power supply. You’ll be amazed how much you can save and the time it takes for the power supply to paid off itself especially in area like California where energy rates are rocket high. Enjoy!

Umm is itme or we seen the Gold PSU watt number on load but not the cheaper one? I don’t care much to see the difference in idle even though I want to know it I would had prefer to see the # diff on load.

ohh that’s why i haven’t noticed this case cause i’ve been looking for cases that come stock with black interior
#24 written by mikeccuk2006 August 6th, 2010 at 12:13
google: Antec Power Supply Calculator
but i think a very efficient PSU at 450 can handle that
#25 written by NCIXcom August 6th, 2010 at 12:29
This is a slightly modded case, but the window is stock. It’s a TJ07B-W.
The only key changes I’ve made to mine are front grills, black powder coated interior, and some cable management holes.
