Ok, I have to ask. Why does everybody seem concerned about 1000 watt computers?
Thats 1Kw an hour. On my last bill I paid $0.08 per Kw/h.
So let’s say I use the computer 2 nights a week for 3 hours. That’s 312 hours a year costing me $25 a year.
That seems inconsequential compared to the 2k+ price a 4090 will cost plus water cooling plus almost 1k for a worthy cpu + DDR5 + PCIe 5 hard drives + worthy monitors.
In short most people will probably have a 5-6k computer so $25 for power shouldn’t even register? Basically the operating cost of your computer will rise $0.04 an hour.
