If the inefficiencies of a PS are all translated into heat, and assuming the wattage rating is for delivered power:

A 350 W PS at 65% efficiency would produce 188 watts of heat.

A 250 W PS at 65% efficiency would produce 135 watts of heat.

A 350 W PS at 85% efficiency would produce 62 watts of heat.

        I've never seen a low-cost off-the-shelf system with a big enough power supply. - TB - 2/22/2007 5:31:44 PM
