2. The 460W is the output wattage. I was basing my numbers off of enermax's site for the EG465P-VE(G)(W) FMA, for peak amperage: 9.5A at 115V: 115*9.5=1093~=1100
3. To be honest, I had no idea what the average house had for current ratings, i was just basing 30A off of the parent post's numbers.
Via C-3s can run without a fan just fine, sure a little slower, but cheaper too. combine it with a SV-24 and a quiet 5400 rpm and you've got a near silent computer. For less than any imac.
I think the point that was trying to be made is that the computer you had before was put together to be a cad machine. The computer you have now, however, is designed to be a general purpose/gaming machine. Use the right tools for the right job

um, what? actually, my dear friend, the period of the moon's revolution is exactly the same as it's period of rotation. Therefore, the same side of the moon (the "light" side) is always facing the earth. It doesn't really matter where you are.
I've got a setup something like that. I have a full tower case (so the power supply isn't in front of a large chunk of the mobo) and what I did is just cut a whole in the side of the case directly above the heat sink. The processor used to run at around 45 with a delta 60mm fan, but now it runs at about 49 with a slower 90mm case fan ducted on to it. That plus cutting a monster hole in the power supply top and putting in a 120mm fan makes the whole computer quite a bit quieter. . . As long as you don't mind cutting yourself on the sheet metal a few times.

G-forces, in themselves, will almost never make you sick. Its rapid changes that will make you sick. About the only thing that G's higher than one will do to you (steady, no rapid) will make you blackout. Of course, if sustained for too long, death can result, but for that you need a momentary force of around 90-100 G's or a sustained force of around 10 G's. What's worse, in my opinion, about some rollercoasters, is the vibrations (usually older rollercoasters). Some of those are really painfull.
Of course, some people can get sick by anything. Motion sickness is something that is very hard to generalize about. The only thing that really gets me sick is rapid, repitative changes in altitude on a hot day.
I went up the elevator to the top of the building, where everyone lives a charmed life, then I took it back down to the bottom where the sysadmins are strange.
but it seems to me like there are several problems that slow down DVD to Divx reencoding:
Reading around 4 gigs of data in a fairly fast time: not much of an issue on a normal computer, but distributed computing might introduce issues with speeds of the network.
Deencoding the mpeg2: this seems to me to be the biggest slow down. The problem seems to one of not having a fast enough decoder that is capable of good image output. Distributed computing would help, but it seems to me to be somewhat of a macgyvered solution to the real problem.
Resizing, cropping etc: not much of an issue, but of course distributed computing would help.
Mpeg4 encoding: Again, one of the major problems seems to be with fairly slow encoding alogarithims. Therefore, helped by distributed computing.
I'm sure setting up a beowulf cluster of computers or some other setup seems to be nice and all that, but unless you're reencoding several dvds a day, it seems like a normal athlon would probably do the trick, and working on the code for better decoding and coding of the various codec would seem to me to be a more efficient way of improving speed. I know that I can reencode a dvd at half real time with 1-pass divx 5 encoding and flaskmpeg, and a 1/4 real time with 2-pass encoding, and I've only got a Athlon 1.4. So unless you are reencoding Das Boot quite a bit, it seems to me like one normal high powered consumer computer would be plenty sufficient.
How well does this play on more modern players, such as mp3/cd players and dvd players? I don't know how this system works, but my mp3/cd player has trouble with multi-session disks.
I wouldn't say that people in general are stupid... It's just masses of people that are stupid... get most people by themselves, and they can at least act fairly intelligent.

1. Alright, so I can't do math, what your point?
2. The 460W is the output wattage. I was basing my numbers off of enermax's site for the EG465P-VE(G)(W) FMA, for peak amperage: 9.5A at 115V: 115*9.5=1093~=1100

Hmmmm.... lets see here.
115V * 30A = 3450W
Monitor
150W=High 17inch usage
Computer
1100W=enermax 460W power supply
Speakers
100W=decent sized computer speakers
network hub
10W
pocket pc
35W=HP Jornada
cell
35W
laptop
200W
for a grand total of:
1645W
even with a 25% error it still is 2056W. Thats a lot of extra room for mor things on one outlet
