Sauce

5 mini-ITX's, 5 Quad-Cores, 5 HDD's, 5 Opticals, 5 Instances of Windows 7, all on 1 Liquid Loop, 1 power supply and crammed in 1 case.

20 cores and 53GHz.

During the CeBIT show we had a chance to take a look at CoolerMaster's interesting system consisting of five mini-ITX motherboards with Intel's quad core CPUs running under full load with one CoolerMaster 1000W PSU. All of these CPUs adds to a total of 20 cores running at 53.2GHz.

Just to make things fair, the system also has five hard drives and five DVD drives, and even if we are looking at mini-ITX motherboards with integrated graphics we must admit that it does look impressive. The entire setup was connected to five LCDs showing that it was running at full load all the time.

The system looks impressive and CoolerMaster's 1000W PSU certainly has enough juice for it. We weren't able to check out the full consumption but the system was looking stable, at least for the time being.

No, the article in your link talks about how many CPUs stuffed in one PC. Aaroman's link talks about Coolermaster's PSU.

Thanks Aaroman for the link fix, I never caught it. +Reps Ill fix the OP
meh, for the article....
but wth is this "sauce" now being used instead of source?
Wow, thats nice! I guess my corsair 850 can do close to that too.
No news here. People have been exaggerating Pc PSU requirements for a few years now. noobs are scared into thinking that their new GPU will require a 600W+ unit.

I got a 750 watt, but I'm planning on doing crossfire down the road, and I have 7 harddrives.

The most you really need for a single GPU setup is about 500 watts though.

Very true. We have people buying 750TXs for systems with E7200s and 4850s.

I have my 750watt just because I had dual 8800GTS 640's w/ 6 HDDs, 2 DvD drives, and a Quad.

I have since downsized. And don't need that much power. But I won't ditch a PSU just cause I don't need that much power anymore.
