1kw for a computer that only pulls 300w is wicked inefficient. you want to run as close to you ps's rating as possible.

yeah, this is very true, I was completely joking about runnign a 1KW power supply (not only for inefficiency, but they're like insanely expensive as well). I do need to float somewhere around the 500watt mark though, as most of nVidia's top end gaming cards require at least a 430.

I want to run all mobile chips at home to keep idling machines on the power downlow.

I'd do that, but like I said I'm a gamer and the mobile CPU's aren't quite enough for high end gaming. if my wife dosen't gets a PC insted of a laptop (which I doubt she will) I'd build it with one of the mobile chips (she dosen't do all that much with her computer, just stuff for work and a little surfing.
