This info was copied directly from the site.

I have a couple of questions about it:

1) Will this eat up bloody loads of power?
2) Will this even work with a 800W Quiet Quad Rail PSU?
3) Is £2000 worth it for this PC?

Thanks,
Rich

Seems a tad expensive... Maybe its the extra 6GB of RAM...

Here is what I picked up on April for $1656. Could have had it with the Nvidia GTX 295 for around $1800.
