According to the test, an 850W PSU managed to boot the whole rig, whilst many 1500W PSUs failed.  Goes to show ratings have little real value...

I heard that the power supplied on the 12V rail is in many cases more important than the total amount of power supplied, since the +12 supplies power to the power intensive stuff like cpu and gpus.

So if the power supply's total power supply is good, but the +12 rail sucks, it still sucks.
