eXtreme Tools!

Forget where I spied this website, but I wish I had it when I built my system for choosing a power supply (which, amazingly, is 50W over my recommended wattage).

Has some interesting utilities, but definitely worth playing with.

Do you know any amazing tricks/tools/'rules of thumb' for building computers, etc.? Share them! Maybe we can get a list going and get this stickied.

first glance with the PSU calculator gives good numbers. Normally they run very high. 244w min 294 recommended for my lunchbox rig. I have tested it at 230 watts under full load

This utility has been able to perform miracles in data recovery, can't tell you how many times I've used it as a last-ditch effort to get data off toasted / corrupt HDDs. In many instances, I've been able to get a drive back to bootable status. It's Linux based, so there's a learning curve, but it beats losing data or spending thousands sending a drive off to a data recovery center.
