Quote:

Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF) took one step closer to the latter scenario by generating 500 trillion watts (terawatts) of power and 1.85 mega joules of ultraviolet laser light using 192 laser beams.
For comparison, 500 terawatts is 1,000 times the amount of power that the United States uses at any point in time, and 1.85 mega joules is 100 times what any regular laser today produces.

They were probably using Corsair or Antec PSUs. What else could withstand such onslaught?
