Good PSU Calculator?

[InfernalMachine]

I haven't had any issues with my current rig (see sig) but I wanted to find out a way to see what my rig is actually consuming to see if I need a bigger PSU.

Most calcs I have found on the web put me under 550w (around 520w), but with little overhead.

You can get a Kill-A-Watt for around $30 IIRC; they'll show you how much you're actually drawing at the wall. That's about all I can think of.

Watts don't matter so much any more its the ampage on the lines that counts.

This seems to be based on Takaman's data. It works in almost the exact same way (except the links not dead 99% of the time.)

It's a bit outdated, but still very good.

If you follow the instructions in the sticky it is not outdated it just requires effort.
