That's true, but most PCs are equipped with quite inefficient PSUs. From
my personal experience, the other problem is that most high-quality PSUs
are usually only available at high output ratings for
overclocked-and-equipped-with-20-fans ;-) systems which draw a lot of
power. If you try to follow the "minimum CPU" principle VDR is designed
for, you will have a hard time finding a quality PSU.

Yes, but I forgot to update the website (shame on me!). I will update
the CIM page when I'm back home tonight.
